Now You See It ...Now You Don't!

Besides my goofy step-stool, is there anything in particular that stands out to you in this picture?? For me, the LAMP CORD is VERY noticeable and looks TERRIBLE! If there's one thing I hate, it's unsightly electrical cords!
Hard to ignore that unsightly cord!
The cord that came with the lamp was brown and distinctly noticeable against my white and cream paint in addition to being too short to reach the outlet. So today I rectified both of these undesirable situations. I bought a 15-ft long white extension cord, lopped off the end of it, and rewired my mantle's lamp. The long cord easily reaches my outlet now! I also installed a 4-ft long white cord cover to run along the edge of my fireplace and wall to further mask the cord.
Ahh... much better!
And... VOILA! The cord is now virtually invisible! What do you think?
