let there be light!

I walked into the living room this morning and found only one lamp on my antique buffet... one of the cats (we're assuming Pinkie) destroyed the other lamp by knocking it off the table. Grrrr! I was livid!

So I spent the better part of today shopping for new lamps.

Here is the before shot:



and this is what I came home with:



with the flash on:



I'm not too crazy about the beads, but it looks like they'll come off pretty easily. And I got the pair from Kirkland's for $35! Such a deal! I am so glad I stopped there because I almost dropped $120 on a set of lamps at Hobby Lobby that were really similar.





Of course all this lamp shopping has made me want a new lamp for our entryway table... I'll keep you posted!
