apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I bought and returned that Pier 1 lamp with the teal shade. I loved the look of it, but the color of the shade cast a weird glow in my apartment. I learned from that experience, that I like white (or mostly white) shades the best.

Wow. ChrisToronto, of Style North, seems to have been a trendsetter.

i like these kinds of posts. thanks.

is there nothing cheaper out there? i have some drum shades sitting on some pretty unsubstantial ikea bases and i'd love to switch them out with something more stylish.

LisaHunter, I think you may be right: http://stylenorth.ca/blog/2008/09/brasso-the-final-frontier/

You can get the orange one in many c olors and much cheaper at bellacor. I got it in this light blue. Just a heads up...it's huge!http://www.bellacor.com/productdetail/67718.htm

i have the pier 1 lamps too. and i got them on sale for $24. thats the good thing about pier 1, while everything is too expensive normally, they have sales ALL the time. YAY!

I love these style lamps so much. Now if only I can one for less than $50. :)
