Are you ready for round two of the Ugly Lamp contestants? Remember to also vote for the ugliest lamps from round one! Did you have ugly lamp nightmares last night? I’m sorry.
Please cast your vote for the entrant you think is the ugliest lamp you’ve ever laid eyes upon over there at the polls on the right-hand side of the blog.
The top two winners of each bracket will then go head-to-head in a final vote-off for the grand prize of one $70 gift certificate to CSNstores.com and the proud title of “Ugliest Lamp Ever!”
Ok, deep breaths. Steel yourself. Here we go.
No friends, I haven’t gone blind. You may think this is nothing more than a dust-blanketed ceiling fan, but lurking behind those orange flowers (which oddly, don’t match the yellow flowers, even though they are on on the SAME FAN) are three nightlight sized lightbulbs. Ugly and worthless!
from Laree
As she excitedly flipped on her new lamps for the first time, it quickly dawned on Mrs. Johnson why they were on clearance. Mr. Johnson insisted they were fine.
from Adriana @ Mrs. Faz
Did you get the latest issue of Prison Cell Chic?
Yes, and I just fell in love with those wall sconces on page 32!
Me too! I’m going to order a pair just as soon as I can decide on a color, Interrogation Gray or Suicide Sage!
from Clare
You know when you’re walking down the street… and you see one of those couples? You know, where the girl is like, pretty hot, and the guy is … well … and you just kinda wonder, like how did they…? What does she see in…? Anyway. You know?
Earl! Hurry! Grab the saguaro lamp! Hurry Earl, that man wearing the blue shirt is headed this way with determination in his eye and I couldn’t live with myself if I let this one slip through my fingers! Just think how nicely it will complement our beavertail cactus lamp back home!
I rubbed this lamp and dreamed of Jeannie, but all that popped out was a change of address card from 1974. Maybe I should get a new lamp. Or re-paper the living room. Eh, screw it.

Sure, the new vaccine eradicated mumps in the late 40’s, but that doesn’t mean we can’t honor their memory.

“Welcome to Lamps R Us, can I help you?”
“You know, I have been looking EVERYWHERE for a transgendered alien matador lamp.”
“Then today is your lucky day!”

August 6, 2010 at 6:30 PMThe second one reminded me of the leg lamp in A Christmas Story for some reason…

August 6, 2010 at 7:38 PMI honestly don’t know which I like better – the before and after projects or your sharp sense of humor. I come here daily for inspiration and a laugh!

August 6, 2010 at 7:41 PMYou know, I just can’t decide between #8 and #15. The problem is with the first I’m sure someone actually thought it was lovely, at one time. The second I’m not sure anyone ever thought it was lovely, just kitchy.

August 6, 2010 at 8:26 PMWow most of these are BAD! Although….I wouldn’t mind having #11!! I’d slap a new shade on there and it’s quite pretty!!!
The prison cell one freaks me out a bit! LOL

August 6, 2010 at 10:55 PMI was thinking the same thing, Solacemama! I saw the nastiest lamp at goodwill, too! I should have picked it up, or at least took a picture.

August 7, 2010 at 12:16 AMI was thinking #9 until I saw #10! Man, there are some really very ugly lamps out there!
Megan
August 7, 2010 at 2:10 AMI kind of see potential in 11. New lamp shade and all… it’s definitely the better looking lamp out of the group!
BeachCoveJewelry
August 7, 2010 at 2:39 AMI like 11, It just needs a new shade!
