I got this lamp at a garage sale on Memorial Weekend. The lady was asking $25 for it.
I offered her $10. She said, "oh honey, it's practically new, would you give me $15? I said yes!
She said she paid over $100 for it about a year ago, and it had set in her guest room, not being used. She put the cutesy little bows on it, and the shades are obviously very well made.But, I have other plans for this lamp. Striped down, she looks MUCH better in my eyes. And after a couple of cans of paint ...........
She is now my "dream lamp"! And fits in with my other lamps in that room as you can see below!
