New Lamps in the Dining Room

Hello everyone!

I know

I know

I know

Here is my dining room...............again!  

And it still has Christmas decor in it.

I've decided I will take my decor down on New Years Day.  That's what I used to do and it just feels right doing it that way this year.  It's sort of a great day to start anew.  So, that means you'll just have to look past the Christmas decorations in this room for now.

I had some Christmas money to spend, so I decided to buy a pair of matching lamps for the sideboard in my dining room.  Ever since I hung the narrow trumeau mirror in here, I felt it needed some tall lamps to anchor each side.  


I wanted a chunky wooden lamp with a muted color shade.  I think these fit the bill.


These lamps came from Home Goods.  However, they originally came with very plain white shades.  I wasn't fond of them, so I replaced  them with these burlap shades from Target. 

Here is a close up of the distressed wood base.


These were just what I was looking for!

Here is how they look when turned on.


When I remove the greenery from Christmas, I will probably set my distressed pedestal in between the lamps and add some candles.  

It will be fun to set up the house again with a new arrangement.

Hope you all have a great New Years Eve tomorrow night!

See you in 2015!

  29. Wow! You really did find exactly what you were looking for! I love your new lamps. I was just looking at some of my lamps and thinking they're too small. I really like the size of yours. Target is great for shades. I've found several there too. Happy New Year!

  30. Your lamps are beautiful. I need new lamps for the living room but I'm too cheap to buy them. I keep thinking I'll find some thrifted ones to paint etc.
    I never tire of your dining room so.... it's all good!
