A good lamp can be hard to find. A great lamp under $100? Seems impossible these days, right?
I know I’ve blogged about this Walmart lamp before, but they started making it in peacock blue so I had to share. $30.
I love white porcelain in any form. This $50 pierced version looks nice. I love the quadrifoil pattern. Very Van Cleef. Although I would probably end up painting the cheap-looking wood base. Maybe gray. I guess it would depend on the room.
Def. not loving that shade with this base.
These two translucent lamps are only $40. This gorgeous amber tone could work in so many different rooms.
A pair of these in amythest would be an amazing color punch for a bedroom.
Classic ivory lamp. Tried and true. $50.
Gorgeous gray pair. Love. ($105.22 for two)
I think it is impossible to go wrong with alabaster marble lamps. They are perfect in every room, every decor. This pair (PAIR!!) on eBay is going for $40 right now. The auction ends in two days and the price will certainly go up, but it’s worth keeping an eye on these babies.
These might have some people questioning my taste, but I think they are SO unique and completely gorgeous! I love the green and the natural woven shades. Definitely statement pieces for a room with tall ceilings (couldn’t you see these gracing the pages of Domino?). $99 for the pair.
Do you have any secret places for cheap and beautiful lamps?
I know you are already well tuned into Etsy as any good decorator should be – but I have found some fabulous vintage lamps on there lately. I hadnt really thought of them as a resource for vintage finds until recently, and now I am obsessed. (Bought these great drawer knobs there yesterday:

I posted these under comments to your Domino Guest Room copy cat design page recently, but since there are no comments here I'll post them again:

… among many many others.
Thanks to inspiration from your blog I now know how to give my otherwise soft and flowery bedroom a modern edge with strong bolder colors and patterns without it looking totally disjointed. Thank you!!
