The pink Target lamps arrived today. Here they are in my poorly lit bedroom last night:
Even though I knew they were only 23.75 inches, I was kind of hoping they'd look bigger. (I like big lamps and I cannot lie, you other brothers can't deny...)
There's a line of furniture across the top there. The lamp and the painting are at the same height as the headboard, and it just looks....not right.
I like the lamps. They are cute and dainty. The color is perfect, I like the brass and glass, they are fabulous. But I don't think they are right for this room. Perhaps in Princess's room? Or back at the store.

Gosh, I go AWOL from the internet for a week and I miss all the action. Much as I love orange, I'm liking your shift to pink. I (sadly) agree those pink lamps look a bit small. Great suggestions from your readers on thrifty solutions to that--but I know I'm in a place where I don't want to have to diy much of anything. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI also have zero desire or time to DIY a lamp right now. I actually have had an eye on craigslist for a suitable lamp to spraypaint, but I don't currently have any in my stash that I want to transform. I'd rather just have something already made and already nice.
DeleteThe Target lamps are so adorable, though...they may have to find a new home in Princess's room.
That's a shame. Even with a lift--a box or some books underneath, they aren't going to be tall enough.
ReplyDeleteYep...but maybe they will in Princess's room. They are really just so pretty.
DeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteso sorry these are not a magic solution -I wonder why target think it is OK to make mini lamps ? I guess it is back to the drawing board for you. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I am sure it will be fabulous
Kind Regards
Cathy
Funny enough, Target makes this lamp even smaller, with only one glass globe. I will just have to keep looking for a bigger one.
DeleteOMGGGG! I just went to Target and found my favorite lamp. It has the wooden stick base and I'm going back to get it this week! YESSS!
