Inspiring Lamps and a Giveaway

{Giveaway is Closed} 

The Winner is #331, Heidi!  Congrats, Heidi, you’ve got mail!

Lamps are one of the easiest things to change out in a room to make a big difference in the feel. I went through the really traditional lamp season, of iron base and bell shaped shades, but the last 3 or 4 years, I’ve transitioned over to drum shades and a more electic vibe with my table lamps and I love the changes.  I’m happy that lamp manufacturers have given us so many pretty lamps to choose from the last few years.  Before that, I remember having a hard time finding pretty lamps that were affordable.

I’ll show you a few of mine that I’ve had for a few years.

yardsale lamp

I found this one at a yardsale for $5 and got rid of the monstrously big shade that came with it and found the replacement shade at a thriftstore.  I recovered it in this pretty black and cream damask and have enjoyed it for a long time.  I might be ready for an update on the fabric pretty soon, since I have some burlap that would work perfectly.  I love the glass base with gold accents and it’s a very tall stately lamp.

mercury glass

Another find in my living room is this mercury glass lamp that I got from Homegoods.  It’s petite and fits nicely on this glass and iron side table from Ballards.

black metal

More lamps around my house. I love mixing them up and using different colors and shades all around. I try to keep my shades fairly neutral for the most part and notice I love the drum shades. Something about this shape really appeals to me and it modernizes a room so much.

black metal lamp

Another little vignette in my den area has another metal based lamp and drum shade.  I’m still working on the den, but I’ll show you some progress down here next week.  It will be awhile before I get this room totally finished and I’m still using part of it for storage of accessories.

gray with burlap shades

Another great find were these lamps from Kirklands that I found just after moving in my house.  I absolutely love the wooden bases, the gray ceramic vase shape and the burlap drum shades. This pair was the perfect complement on my sideboard in the dining room, pulling in the gray paint in here and the colors from the curtains. They were meant to be!

Speaking of Kirklands, if you haven’t shopped there for lamps lately, they have really upped their game in lamp selections and I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the ones they have. You can shop online or at their store and they have a ton of lamps on sale all the time.

glass lamp with burlap shade from Kirklands

Kirklands sent me a new lamp to try out in my house and I absolutely love it.  This big glass base is slightly vintage looking and the glass is sort of seeded and old looking on a wooden neutral base.  I really love the large drum shade covered in burlap.

large glass lamp

It’s a great fit on my coffee table in the den, very large and distinct and the style fits right in with my Traditional furnishings in here.  At 32” tall, it’s a large one!

Here’s some great news too. Kirklands wants to give ONE of my readers one of these lamps too.  Yippee!! I love when I can share the fun with all of you and I’m so excited to be able to give one of you this lamp too.  It will be sent directly to your home all packed up nice and neat in 2 boxes. 

All you have to do is visit the Kirklands website, look at their lamps and leave a comment, telling me which one is your fave! 

And tell me where you’ll put this new lamp if you’re the fortunate winner?!  That’s it, I’ll choose a winner in a few days and you’ll get your very own beautiful glass lamp with burlap shade too.  How fun is that?

Note: I was given a free lamp from Kirklands, but wasn’t paid for this post.

    Wow, I hadn’t even thought of them for lamps, and I’ve been on the hunt for awhile. I love the sandy blue glass lamp and I’d put it in my family room. I’ve been searching for a lamp for that room for over a year, I guess I’m a little picky!

    The blue glass table lamp or the blue distressed table lamp as either would look perfect on my bedside dresser! Lori Lucas

    I thought the dual fish lamp would look perfect on my screened porch. we have one other lamp out there, the base is a mermaid and we call her Bertha. I love your site and decor and look forward to new and interesting items.

    oh my goodness! Over the past year, I’ve discovered that I love lamps….and now I’m looking for fabulous, fun, different styles that I can move around my house when I get bored (you know what I mean!). I’m trying to decide which Kirkland’s lamp I like best and haven’t quite decided, but here are some that I’m looking at:
    1. Stacked Orb Glass Table Lamp
    2. Corinthian Uplight
    3. White Tree Branch Table Lamp
    See? All very different, but I can name a place in my home where each would be wonderful! Thank you for sharing 🙂

    I love the neutral clear glass table lamp exactly like the one you have. I guess seeing it actually in the room helps me to visualize it more. The burlap shade would fit in perfectly in my living room. I hope I win! Thank you.

    Well, that was easy…the antler table lamp. I would would sit on my BF’s side table and serve as a reading lamp. He has a 1934 bungalow decorated A&C so it would fit right in.
