Jay stole our old guest room lamps to put in the studio, so I've been hunting for their replacements. Quality lamps are surprisingly lacking on Craigslist...but my persistance once again paid off!
I found these fun artichoke lamps weeks ago...$175 for the pair. Which is steep for Craigslist. I figured I'd wait them out until they came under $100, which didn't take long...they obviously wanted to sell. We got them for $75.
These suckers are large and made out of metal (ie heavy). A close-up of the artichoke in full glory:
I mean really...how awesome is that! And with a $15 shade from Marshall's:
I was thinking I was going to have to figure out how to fit this thing with a harp, but my brilliant mother suggested just setting the shade on top of the weird glass dome thingy. Done. I also thought I might paint them, but I kind of love the unexpected bright blue.
For about $105 all-in (which lamp shoppers know is a great price - 1 shade can cost more than that!), we have 2 really fun, really nice new lamps for our guest room!
