Pottery Barn cool lamp
I've always had a thing about lamps. The ones I typically fall for cost way too much. Even when Carter and I find one at a discount, it's still pricey. (Yes, I still do love that brass bamboo-looking lamp with the Asian shade that set us back $500.) I better still love it eight years later.
Anyhow, it's amazing how cool the milk-glass table lamp bases are from Pottery Barn. They come in green, marigold, espresso, orange and white. The lamps are a reasonable $90. The natural fiber tapered drum shades range from $11 to $59. See potterybarn.com.
A man who used to own a lamp shade store in Boca Raton gave me the best advice about shades. He liked to say, "Buying a shade without the lamp is like buying a hat without your head." It's best to either buy them at the same time to make sure they look right. Or bring your lamp in when you buy the shade.
If you have any bright ideas, let me know.
