Thrift store lamps.

For the past two months I've been eyeing these lamps at my favorite thrift store. They were priced at $50.00 for the pair which was an okay price but still kind of pricey for a thrift store.


Then I saw the same exact lamp featured on Decorno (work of Angie Hranowsky) and I knew I had to go back and snatch them up (if they were still there). To my suprise it was "Half Priced Monday" on all lamps and picutres. So I got them for $12.50 each! SA-WEET!

Also, thanks to Suertica for spotting these nifties at Decorpad.

What a score! Congrats. They look amazing. I agree that $50 for the pair is a little for my mind in a thrift store, but $12.50 is a dream!

Wow! Just goes to show you that good things come (at a discount!) to those who wait.

Happy New Year!

Um. You were able to put the Twilight books down to actually leave the house? Twice? I envy you. ;)

Karen said...

What a steal, you really got lucky. I've never stopped kicking myself for not grabbing a great set of yellow lamps that I saw at the Goodwill for only $10-what was I thinking letting that go?
