Holy Lamps

Newlywed Diaries posted about table lamps yesterday, owning up to the fact that she has 10. I . . . also have 10. And I'm constantly looking for new ones. 


But have you noticed how expensive lamps are? It's nuts. So finding a good-looking one that isn't several hundred dollars is difficult. In fact, our living room table lamps are two Salvation Army finds that I spray-painted white. They look great, but I'd trade them in a heartbeat for a Christopher Spitzmiller. Sigh. At four hundo and higher (per), these puppies are out of my reach.





So I challenged myself to find some pretty, "inexpensive" substitutes. Everything under $200 (lamps just aren't cheap!), most without shades, and 22" or taller.

That was exhausting! I've also found some nice colorful ceramic options at TJ Maxx in their store's home section, yet continue to not pull the trigger. I'm still thinking about them. Pretty sure that means I should buy them. 

Think so. Yes. Heading to the car.
