Mine is by the sink and has a clear chord and the outlet is right there-so it sort of hides itself. It's the first light I turn on every morning to make coffee and every evening for whoever wanders into the kitchen after dinner. I love the glow combined with the under cabinet lighting for parties- it&Acanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422669494853882483.post-4465616448170238082013-05-28T20:59:07.459-04:002013-05-28T20:59:07.459-04:00I have them.

I have admired many kitchens with lamps and even had a small Staffordshire dog lamp in my own until my sister came and made it known how much she loved it that I gave it to her...lol!
