Vintage Teak Lamp.

I bought this lamp, a couple of months ago, at an outdoor flea market in New Jersey.  It is a teak lamp in working condition, on a marble and wood base.  It is beautiful and a total steal at $15 for the two lamps.  While one lamp was in great working condition, the other one needs to be rewired.


The lamps came with their original shades but they were ripped and dirty.  I would eventually like to re-cover the original wire shade skeletons but as a temporary fix I have been looking for an inexpensive black shade.  I went to Ikea last week and I almost fell over with excitement when I saw the black shade which was the perfect size for the lamp.


The Ekas shade cost $13.  It works perfectly with the lamp and it looks great in Kiran's room.

Scored!

I decided to run into Marshall's a few weeks ago on a whim.  I was really excited to find this amazing garden stool. I have been wanting a blue and white garden stool for a very long time but I wasn't compelled to pay $150 or more for it.  I found this beauty for $29.99.  What a score!


I also found this LOVE sign which looks a lot like an Alexander Girard print.  I love the whimsical designs by him and I have been contemplating buying the LOVE  canvas print  from Urban Outfitters.  This one was another steal at $7.99.


It is hanging on the wall behind the staircase that goes up to the third floor.  I love being able to see it from inside Kiran's room.
