I purchased the lamp above for $1.87 at a Goodwill store recently. It swings in different position and the vintage appeal just beckoned to me. The lamp didn’t come with a shade(not sure if there was one originally). However, I like it without a shade.
The black tubular section was originally a creamish color, so I spray painted it black. I like the gold
and black combination more.I would love to get one of those cool looking vintage bulbs, but either way, it makes a great reading lamp. It was also a great steal; can't beat that!

a few of you may have already seen this handmade blanket on Instagram. I also scored that at Goodwill for less that $3. It’s crotched using a multi -colored striped pattern. I knew it was made with lots of love and undoubtedly took a long time to complete because it is a great size. I love it!
Baby Ian seems to love it too? Not sure if he’s smelling it or snuggling… Blessings and one love. XX
Stacey, I LOVE THAT LAMP! GOod choice to paint the tube black - it goes perfectly with the gold! And the rest of your pad? SUPER GORGEOUS! Hugs to you and those gorgeous boys! LOVE, Anita
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I agree the lamp needs no shade... it's like a sculpture on on its own. Plus I like supporting Goodwill and all they do for the community. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI cannot get over that little lamp. What a fun find. Oh how I miss the little diaper behind...he looks big enough to scale his crib. Has he figured out how to climb out?
