Mad Hatter Lamps

Do you find Marshall's, HomeGoods and TJ Maxx hard to resist? 
The other day I went in to Marshall's to return something and saw two lamps like this. A little funky and just the right color for my bedroom.


You all know my bedroom is pretty traditional and I've been wanting to add a little contemporary items to my style.

 I have to say in my defense that I've been looking for some replacements for our current lamps for several years. Here's a photo of the old lamps in our bedroom. Will show you an updated photo later ~ there's  a big pile of laundry, etc. on my bed right now!






I think I bought the pair of these old lamps at The Home Depot many years ago as a set for $30.


Now the plaque behind the lamp definitely needs to be moved to the left and down a little, but I think I like my new Mad Hatter lamps!

Do you have a favorite store that you can't resist?

Happy Friday!

  10. Ohhh, me likey! You won't believe it but my next post (whenever that may happen) will probably be about the funky contemporary coffee table I found in there this week for chump change. Loves me some HomeGoods, definitely.

    p.s. When you're done with your dining chair slipcovers, can you do some for my two ugly brown pleather chairs? I'd even spring for lunch if you would!

  12. Hey Pam! It's ridiculous how excited I get to go to those stores. I can get lost for hours.
    Your bedroom is totally dreamy and I'm green with envy at those mirrored chests!

  13. I like either lamp! Your room is beautiful, love the bedding! I don't have Marshalls or Home Goods just T.J. Maxx which I've done well with over the years. I just saw a lamp with that kind of finish from Wisteria, but I bet you got yours for a better price!

  15. Hi Pam, I love your new lamps! Your bedroom is really pretty--a wonderful retreat. Just wanted to thank you for letting me know about the word verification thing. I thought I had cut it off before, but I guess I didn't save the settings... Anyway, thanks again!
