With our basement renovation (which is really coming along thanks to Carter) I finally have the chance to bring one of these lamp pairs home...and there was a pair that I have been circling for a LONG time that I finally bought...
My new [old] lamps:
Aren't they SMASHING?! They are really tall and the most beautiful shade of salmon..and I absolutely adore their elongated ginger jar shape. I got them from a great Etsy shop - FauxBoo Finds - that specializes in vintage Hollywood Regency and Chinoiserie.
I'm thrilled to be using a vintage lamp set in our new den. Vintage lamps have a whole lot of character and can add such a delightful touch to a room. Using them in sets is my favorite way of incorporating them into a room. Not to mention that prices on a vintage set are usually much lower than what you would pay for one lamp new. Sometimes they need a little re-wiring, but that's a relatively simple task for you or a handyman (or Carter).
I devoted my January ideabook on Houzz to all of the vintage lamp pairs on Etsy that I've been drooling over recently.

I love this post, especially because you chose a pair of lamps from my boyfriend's Etsy shop (URBAGE)! We both have Etsy shops so it's kind of a competition between us...so once I tell him about this he's going to be so excited to have a leg up on me!
ReplyDeleteLove these--so beautiful! I used to be ahuge fan of vintage lamps, but somehow slipped into a Home Goods lamp rut (I mean, they do have great inexpensive options, but...)
ReplyDeletePerhaps I will be inspired to go vintage once more!
Love your post ~ Etsy is such a great go-to resourse for interesting vintage finds! Many thanks for including my vintage pair of jade green & gold pagoda style lamps!

These lamps look amazing! I'm going to have to check them out as I look for inspiration decorating my space.
ReplyDeleteHi Daniela,
ReplyDeleteI'm a local blogger and have been reading you for some time--don't think I've ever left a comment though. I think I have a bit of an addiction to vintage lighting myself :) Anyway, I've been admiring a pair of vintage lamps at a local thrift store (back room) for a while now. they're not for me though. They're white with a raised brown bamboo design on them. Very similar to your 11th photo (only prettier I think). Email me if you want to know where they are.
