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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
probably the etched glass table lamp! so many choices!

and I would put in our living room.
Love your new lamp, Rhoda!
I love the lamps in your dining room and bought one of them after they were featured in a blog post. I have been very happy with that Kirkland’s purchase. I got a large piece of art for my bedroom at the same time that I am really enjoying.
Looking at their lamps now I like rattan dual table lamp. It’s a bit different and would add interest to a room.
I love the Blue Hobnail Table Lamp would be perfect bedside
I love all of your beautiful lamps Rhoda! I love large lamps – they really make such a lovely focal point!
I just got a darling red console table for a corner of the room and it needs it’s very own lamp!!
It’s a tough decision but I think I’d choose the Sandy Blue Glass table lamp!
All of the lamps are beautiful but I would choose the Whavo Chocolate Shade Table Lamp and replace a lamp I have been using in my living room for the past 25 years!
First, thank you for introducing me to Kirkland’s. It’s a store we don’t have in N. CA. Second, I appreciate ALL your pics, tips & general banter. Plus, this FAB giveaway!
My favorite lamp is the Glass Bronze Table Lamp. It will look beautiful in my traditional / contemporary family room. I’m redoing the room and whether it’s this light or the beautiful clear glass one you show, it will add necessary task lighting for reading.
I especially love the Vintage Blue Lamp. It has that great weathered look that would go almost anywhere, especially my bedroom!
I love the Black Damask Buffet Lamp, I would put this in my front living room 🙂

I would love to have the Industrial Wood Floor Lamp. We lack natural light in our living room and there are no over head lights yet. Also, it’s the perfect color to make our blue walls and natural curtians!
Rhoda –
I looked through all 83 lamps and just kept coming right back to Mr. Peacock! He’s seems so content and sophisicated!
I’d LOVE to get your give-away lamp to give to my son who is planning to move to his own space in March!
I look forward to reading your posts every Friday when I’m off from school. Blessings to you!
My favourite one is the Antler Table Lamp with Faux Leather Shade, but wow, they have so many really attractive lamps that it’s hard to pick, there were several others that I would also love to have! I wonder if they ship to Canada, better go find out.
I would use the Antler lamp in my living room next to my husbands favourite chair.
Hugs, Cindy
I adore the Open Base Glass Table Lamp and I would put it in our den. It is SO dark in that room! I need more light!
I love the turquoise scroll lamp – beautiful! I would use a new lamp in my living room 🙂
I am totally loving the neutral crystal lamp on my nightstand.
I am going to Kirkland’s very soon. Love reading your blog.
Love the neutral clear glass lamp!
Crackled Silver Glass table lamp…would love this in my living room.
I didn’t know Kirklands had such a great website! I love the blue scroll lamp. We are just finishing up our new-build so I will be visiting the site as soon as I see what I need. Thanks Rhoda!
I love the Sandy Blue Glass Lamp! Thank you for a chance!
