My husband and I fell in love in Paris - on a high school band trip - though it took us years to realize it. That, along with our honeymoon to Italy gave us a real love for travel-themed items. We almost did a travel themed nursery for our little mcNugget but were having difficulty finding enough components to make it work... maybe this time around!
So anyway, I came across this piece at our local HomeGoods, and having admired the target version for a few years - had to pick it up. I didn't love the lamp shade on the target one, and it was too expensive (currently marked at $45) to not absolutely love. This homegoods version cost me only $24, and the wheat-colored drum lamp shade was more my style than the other.
So we bumped our in-need-of-repair set of $19 Ikea lamps for two mis-matched ones. The oil-rubbed desk light we had gotten at Lowes on clearance a few weeks ago for $30. I love that style of light and one of our Ikea lamp shade kept falling off thanks to my dog's nose bumping it every day - so I had to replace it.
Here's the Lowe's lamp with our Ikea one:
And here's the new lamp set during the day:
And the close up of the two new lamps:
I love the new lamps. I was a little nervous at first that it was such a spur-of-the-moment buy, but just sitting in the room makes me happy. I actually have texted people about it. Its the little things, right? I think it makes the room look a little more formal, and a little less cookie-cutter. Plus the dogs enjoy them too. :)
