A few weeks ago I bought another new old lamp that I found at the local antique mall and haven't even shown it to y'all yet. I just can't help myself when I see a pretty lamp. They just seem to hop in my arms. It took the place of a buffet lamp I had sitting on the bookcase in the great room. I love the shape of this one and the shade. The shade is usually what attracts my attention first when I spot a new lamp. This lamp is older and solid brass with an unusual shaped black shade with gold on the inside.
I just love how this room looks at night.
After all this is when we usually have the lamps on.
Close up of the base. It looks like an old brass candlestick.
I put my fern in my copper pot and then placed my cute little pig in front of my rooster picture for this vignette.
Here you can see the shape of the shade better.
Solid brass lamp was only $24. The shade, which is hard, would be more than that if purchased separately these days so not a bad deal.
Hope your long holiday weekend went well.
I know a lot of us had tons of rain, but oh how we need it.
Joining the following:
I love the lamp. I'm a lamp freak. I just bought 2 more lamps today from Goodwill. It was a great find!!! The shade I just love on your lamp.

That is a great buy for a lamp. I can't believe how expensive they are even at the cheaper stores. Great buy and glad you made it home safely.
ReplyDeleteLove your new lamp. It really does look nice in the room.
ReplyDeleteI've stopped at the antique places in Anniston, but it's been years. I'd love to stop by there again sometime.
We've gotten about 2 inches of rain...and I'm praying for more. We have been so hot and dry.
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI love the lamp and it's in the perfect spot. Yes, it does look lovely all lit up. Your room is just glowing with prettieness.

That lamp was a steal - you did well and it looks perfect as part of the vignette.
ReplyDeleteGreat lamp, Kim! It fits that spot so well, too! I love that it casts light so you can see the stuff on the shelves, as well as whats right there. I find the shade draws me in first, too. I have way too many lamps!

It's beautiful Kim. You have such a way with placement of your vignettes. It looks so good next to the rooster painting. Have a wonderful week. Patty
ReplyDeleteKim, your lamp is gorgeous. I love the brass base and the shade is indeed wonderful. I have been looking and looking for some great lamps, just none anywhere that are super. This one is spectacular and your bookcase looks fabulous. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteThe lamp is great. Love the entire vignette - the rooster and pig are so pretty in that spot!
ReplyDeleteI love your new lamp. Is it weird that I get a warm fuzzy feeling when table lamps are lit?
ReplyDeleteLove the Pig! And the Lamp, what a wonderful find! You are so good at vignettes!
ReplyDeleteDebbie
What a gorgeous lamp. I've been looking for one that looks similar. I love how you have everything arranged, too! Of course, my eye always goes to that Roo picture...LOVEEEEE it! XO ~Liz
ReplyDeleteKim, nothing adds warmth and glow like small lamps sitting about. this one is so unusual. Love it! And your vignette is charming.
ReplyDeleteNo rain here, but finally some cooler temps today.
Have a good week.
Glad you got home safely, Kim. I love your new lamp and thr shape of the shade! I just did a post on my lamps too. Stop on over if you get a chance! XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteI just adore your lamp! It is so unique. I'm really loving your copper pot. We have a copper colection and I need to take some pic's of it to share! Note to self, do a post on copper collections! Glad you are home safe and sound.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling little lamp Kim! We have been on the road too, stopping here in there at antique stores but didn't find anything. I'm knee deep in the photo shoot so my comments are few and far between these days.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim!
ReplyDeleteYour vignette is so pretty. Love the new lamp and how it lights up your book case. The shape is so pretty and I love a black shade.
Tell piggie hi for me!

Kim, what a great find! I L-O-V-E lamps period, and this one is so unique. You've created a lovely vignette here and the soft lamplight highlights it perfectly. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to see more brass accessories in the decorating magazines and blogs.....do you think that trend is going to take off?
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a lamp like that one! I love the way it was designed to look like an old candlestick. I am still swooning over the cute little pig!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys are getting some rain. We are still Desperate for some. Here, fires are breaking out all around. It is so sad.

Send the rain and that lamp this way! Any lamp under $30 is a steal. That one is beautiful. The shade shape is so unique.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful candlestick lamp, Kim. Love how you have it in the bookcase vignette.
ReplyDeleteThe lamp and shade are beautiful and it looks wonderful illuminating the bookshelf. You got a great buy!
ReplyDeleteJane
it is a charming little lamp...I love all your decor ...that pig is the best
ReplyDeleteKAT
A beautiful find and the black lampshade is stunning! Overhead task lighting is modern and practical but you gotta love the ambiance that lamps create. If I need another lamp, I should put you on it as you have fabulous taste in lamps my dear!
ReplyDeleteJermaine
Black shades are wonderful for spots like this! Good hunting expedition! You scored a great find!
ReplyDeleteYour lamp is just wonderful with it's curvy base and black shade! Plus, you found it at such a terrific price!
ReplyDeleteThe lamp IS nice. I've debated whether or not to buy one when I see them in consignment stores. But, I LOVE the rooster print. That is most awesome, especially it's colors, and the pig cracks me up! We're under a tornado watch from lovely Lee today too, but we did need the rain. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI love lamp lighting....It makes everything seem so warm and inviting. Yours is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love lamps too and I've never seen one like this. Looks perfect in your vignette. Great find Kim.
ReplyDeleteThe lamp is interesting. I wonder what that curlicue is for on the base. Did it have a purpose or is it just decoration?
ReplyDeleteKim, you and Debbie find the best lamps. I love lamps, but never run across any that I like in the antique malls. I always see them in your or someone else's house. The last lamp I found was an alabaster one but can't find the right shade for it. Glad you're back from your trip.
ReplyDeleteLove the elegance of this beautiful lamp... it creates such a wonderful ambiance to your vignette. The shelf and the tabletop is highlighted so beautifully and all the colors looking gorgeous! Thanks for this beautiful inspiration and for having this fun weekly party. Have a wonderful evening! It rained heavily here yesterday and today is such a gloomy and overcast day. I'm glad you came home safely.Hugs~Poppy

Very pretty! You're right - the shade alone would be more than 25.00! Love the base of the lamp and your vignette is perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour new lamp is wonderful Kim! And Mr Pig looks quite pleased!:) Thanx for sharing for Treasure Hunt Thursday!
ReplyDeleteGreat lamp. Your shelves look wonderful. That's a project I'm dealing with now - trying to fill in our new built-in bookcases. Of course, I have a lamp in mind too - I just need a new shade for it. Now I'm thinking black might work! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThis room is so welcoming in the lamp light. The glow is lovely. Thanks for linking up to Open House Party!
