Have you ever known exactly what you wanted in an item, but either couldn’t find it…or found it, but couldn’t stomach the price? Well, that’s precisely what I have been going through the last few months.
Early January, we had almost finished our office built-ins, and I knew I wanted to put two lamps on either end of the bookcases. I also knew the look I was going for. I wanted a glossy ceramic or glass base (preferably white, but I was willing to compromise on color). I began scouting out lamps all over the place. I made multiple visits to HomeGoods, TJMaxx, Marshalls, Target, World Market, and At Home! I visited online stores galore: Wayfair, Ballard Design, Pottery Barn, West Elm, etc!
