Floor Lamps

The other day I was at Target and found myself wandering around looking at lampshades and lamps. I always feel like Target is really lacking in the lamp and especially lampshades department. Is it just me, or does it seem like most of their lamps are for kids' rooms? Lots of pastel pinks and blues. Anyway, I found one drum shade that I liked that was actually a big step up for Target, but it was all bent and dinged (is that a word?) up, so I put it back on the shelf. 

I just ordered a new couch (!!), so now I am on the search for some new lamps for our living room. I am thinking of getting a floor lamp for the left side of our couch, so I went to Target.com in search of lamp-ness...and it delivered! Target.com is wayyyyy better at providing good design and options than my local store (I think since we live in the city we have a smaller Target, thus limited options?). Look at these contemporary beauties:

Nice, eh? I think they are much better than what I have seen at the store, for sure! 

And, they had this really awesome bird floor lamp that I couldn't get a picture of, but if you are so inclined, go to Target.com and check it out...it is SO cute. It's a little gold/bronze-toned floor lamp with birdies at the top and a drum shade to add a little modern touch! SO cute. They also have a gold bird/twig wine holder holiday thing that I want as well. I'm just sayin'. Mom. I mean. I'm just sayin. :)
