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.
Wow that was tough but I love the Sand dune table lamp! I am a lamp addict so I loved all of the beautiful lamps at Kirkland’s!
I love the Crackled Silver Glass Table Lamp on their site. We definitely need new lamps for our living room!
I love to visit http://www.homesanctuary.com for my daily ‘Small Thing’ and Rachel Anne recently did a post about lamps – I realized for the first time that I’ve been making the worst decorating mistake for years – using overhead lighting and not lamps! Well I’m trying to remedy that and am on the hunt for lamps at the thrift stores etc., but I would love a new lamp too – the selection at Kirkland’s is amazing, but I really love the Black Wire Body Table Lamp!
I would put two of the Neutral Crystal Table Lamps on my sofa table. Thanks for doing this giveaway and introducing me to Kirklands.
I like the library buffet lamps. We are looking to add furniture in our living room and a couple of lamps would be great behind the couch. Thanks for the opportunity!
I’d love to see the bronze clear glass lamp sitting in my great room. I’m always drawn to a collective style when it comes to lamps and my great room has 3 such lamps now. However, the odd man out is a large white ginger jar lamp found at a local thrift store. The plan was to cover it in rope and add a burlap shade, but the Kirkland lamp would fit my decor so much better. Love your blog….you are a real inspiration!
I love the set of 2 Tortoise Lamps and they would be great replacement lamps for my master bedroom.
Thanks so much for hosting this great giveaway!
Since I’ve been on a turquoise kick lately, I would say the Turquoise Glass Table Lamp would look lovely in my bedroom. Lots of cute lamps though and they aren’t that expensive!
I like the Bronze Crystal Buffet Lamp – and lots more!
I like the bronze clear glass … they are all lovely!
So hard to choose! But, I think I would go with the Bronze clear glass table lamp 🙂
I love your blog! You have so many great ideas! I would have to say my favorite lamp is the dual Fleur-de-Lis uplight. We recently bought a chest at World Market for our foyer. I have been searching for the perfect lamp to go on it. We are from Louisiana so we have several Fleur-de-Lis pieces throughout our home. It would be a perfect fit! 🙂
I’m loving the Clementine Dimpled Glass Table Lamp. It would go perfectly on my entry way cabinet to tie in with the orange in my living room!
Love the green hobnail lamp!
My fav is the crackled silver glass. Would look good in my
yellow and gray bedroom.
Hi Rhoda,
I so agree that a new lamp can really freshen up a room and I’ve also noticed that Kirklands has come out with some beauties..
I love, love, love the one they sent you and my next favorite is the lamp with the burlap shade that is pleated with the button details…
Blessings,
Sharon
love the lamp..redoing my cabin and this is the style I am tryimg to create….casual/beachy relaxed
I really like the crackled silver glass lamp and the blue glass lamp. We live at the shore and either of these would look beautiful in our living room….which we have to refurnish due to Hurricane Sandy damage. Thanks!
I love the Blue distressed table lamp!! I’m in love with color blue and this would be a great addition to my living room. I’m a vintage, shabby, eclectic kinda gal and this SO fits right in! Kudos to you on your life’s journey and your willingness to share.
Neutral Clear Glass is the one for me too. Have the perfect place in my living room!! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
