What a lovely lamp! If I were to win, I’d probably park it on top of my 1957 Fisher hi-fi, and move that lava lamp elsewhere.

Far out! At the tender age of 63, I’m in my first ever solo apartment. Cherry-picked my former house of my fave original ’60s&’70s furniture/decor. Lava lamp light would be peaceful & soothing in my reading nook. I’m so grateful…and feelin’ groovy

I’d put it in my Tiki Room in our mid-century mod home in Phoenix along with a couple of other lava lamps and my Tiki mugs!
