Julia just couldn’t pass up these lamps, because they were so amazingly attractive. Oh, wait, I meant to write free. She couldn’t pass up these lamps because they were free. I can totally see her point. Have you looked at the price of lamps lately? Even a squatty little table lamp from Wal-Mart is like, $35, shade not included. Buy two as big as these, and you’ll hardly have enough left to pay the light bill!
She made them work together by coordinating the bases with a coat of oil-rubbed bronze spray paint. The radical ombre-effect shades, she made those herself! Stylish and thrifty! I’m impressed! Entire tutorial on her blog Chris Loves Julia.
