There are so many things that you notice in a new place if you are just observant. I have always loved traveling; when I was younger I traveled to California just to see the theme parks. I would spend my summer holiday either riding all the roller coasters or sunbathing in the beach. Things changed when I traveled in my late thirties. I was no longer interested in partying at clubs. In Europe I spent hours exploring the beautiful architecture. When I traveled to South Carolina and Texas I was fascinated by decor and furniture of old colonial style houses. I remember one house I visited had Tiffany style pedestal lamps at the entrance.

A pedestal is usually a medium height shelf or stand where you put something on top of. A pedestal for instance is used to hold a prized trophy or an expensive vase. Tiffany style pedestal lamps are so cool. The pedestal is hollow inside. It is made into a lamp and in true Tiffany style, the door of the pedestal is stained glass.
