sometimes, i get really preoccupied with a trend i've seen in the design world, and i can't get my mind off of it until i have it. this happened with swing arm lamps. i guess the first place i really noticed them was in grace bonney's apartment in lonny magazine, and ever since then i thought they were such a cute way to light up a small space (doesn't take up table space by having a lamp). that, and the fact that i'm also preoccupied with brass right now, sealed the deal when i saw these puppies at a local goodwill - marked $5.95. sold! there were 2 of them, and i snatched them up. i bought the small shades at lowe's for $6.
they aren't hard-wired into the wall, but for some reason the little wire that trails down (i secured them with wire-holders) its kind of cute to me. i painted both of them the wall color, which helps.
while i'm at it, i thought i'd show you the pretty roses i snipped from our condo's garden out front. shh, don't tell the neighbors. aren't they nice? those two little buds are about to bloom! i love springtime.
i also recently got that large seashell which reminds me of my mom (she loves the beach) and one of my friends (michel) who lives in florida by the beach!
Wow you really scored at Goodwill. Actually I wonder if this would have even caught my eye there. They were probably piled on a table with cords everywhere...but you knew what you were looking for. Visit my Recycle post today. Thanks,

thank you guys! its kind of rare to find 2 matching anythings at goodwill, so when i see two matching lamps, i usually want them!
ReplyDeleteYour living room is looking great! Where did you find your jute rug? I'm looking for one that size!
ReplyDeletethank you! i got it at lowe's!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your den & the new swing lamps!
ReplyDeleteI like how you used those by the sofa!! Great idea. For anyone looking for something similar, Home Depot sells similar ones for only $47... not quite the bargain you found at goodwill, but inexpensive for new swing arm lamps.
ReplyDeletedon't you just love goodwill? great find! I love the lamps.
ReplyDeletegreat find! you should paint a fun pattern on the shades.. you're skilled like that!
ReplyDeleteI, too, love Grace's lamps in their bedroom I think I need to be on the lookout for some!
ReplyDeletethanks, you guys!
