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.

    I like the pearlized amber glass table lamp. And If I win it will go on the end table in my living room.

    I like the Gray Driftwood Knot Table Lamp. It would look great on a sofa table I have against a natural wood wall. Like a lot of others on here, my lamps really need updating! I’m glad to see that Kirklands is offering such a great selection.

    I love the Gray Driftwood Knot table lamp. I like to add the rustic style with a traditional look. The burlap warms the room. So cozy.

    I chose the “Empire Clear Glass Table Lamp”. My traditional living room needs updating – I want to add more cottage/garden themes to it and the lamp would be just perfect for the look I am going for.

    I love the sandy blue glass lamp and I’d put it either in my craft space or in my daughter’s room. 🙂

    I love the Bamboo Wave Floor lamp. I just changed my living room to animal print and I think it would look great in there.

    Wow all the lamps are so pretty. It’s hard to pick just one. My favorite is the one you have pictured. I have a thing for burlap and I love the clear base! It would be perfect for my livingroom. Oh, and I have to tell you, your Singer table is AMAZING!

    I love the Black Fleur-de-Lis Scroll Table Lamp! If I won this lamp, I’d put it in my living room. We need one this size; our current one is a bit too small.

    I can’t help myself! I just love the Neutral Clear Glass Table Lamp. I would put it in my living room next to the couch.

    Thanks!

    Wow, they HAVE upped their game in the lamp department! I think my favorite is the Crackled Silver Glass table lamp — looks like mercury glass!
    With a guest room makeover on the horizon, I KNOW i’ll need new lamps in there… fingers crossed! Thanks for hosting, Rhoda!

    Love the buttermilk urn table lamp. It is neutral but current looking. If I won a lamp from Kirkland’s it would go in my family room which desperately needs more light.

    I LOVE Kirkland’s for lamps! I like a bunch of them, but the one I would like right now for the living room is the Black Wire Body Table Lamp.

    Great post – I love all your lamps!!
