When I had done a rough count, I asked my wife..(Ferrara) how many lamps she'd guess we had. She said.."Oh...maybe 20?"

I didn't realized myself until I started counting. We DO have a number of tables, dressers, shelves...etc. in a reasonably large house, (2000 sq ft.) The basement rec room (really just a lower level built into a hill) is 53X15 ft, and 2/3 of the length is one large room we often use for sings & house concerts.
The house had 3 wall sconces with 2 lamps on each one...there are 11 other free-standing lamps in the singing area, plus the overhead fixture. There are 8 more in the rear 1/3 where I have a curtained 'office' and guest bed. The shop is in the other half of the lower level. When you walk in, it is not immediately obvious how many lights there are...they are just part of the scenery, and several of them are quite nice fixtures... including an 'art glass' lamp with curved panels I bought 50 years ago.

Yes... I could easily dispense with 10-12 and barely notice...but.... I LIKE the choices.
