Lamp shopping for my living room:

[emoflamingo]

Okay here's what I have so far:


Couch and curtains from the last house stay (the color is slightly off, the green of the curtains matches the green in the pillows below).


Pillows (I'm going to look for solid jewel colored throw pillows eventually).


The rug I'm ordering

I also have this TV stand under our TV (wall mounted) and these end tables for either side of the couch. I may replace the glider we got eventually, but we still use it for the baby (same shade beige as the couch, with darker beige piping).

I want to do a white shade, so I'm okay with buying the base and shade separate. I don't want to spend a ton (probably $50 max?) since Monkey tends to be a little rambunctious. I'm also okay with color, I just can't decide if I want to do green (since the curtains will be right there) or teal (even though I can't match the rug without having it and I don't have it yet). Oh, and I need two, so $100 for both?

Help!

I think I'd try to pull out the purple color. That way you aren't trying to match greens and teals.

You don't have to match any of the colors exactly...sometimes it is the slight variations that really pull s space together.

Have you tried CL. Sometimes older, heavier lamps show up on ours in pairs, and they are usually heavier and balanced better than newer ones...better for standing up to rambunctious kids.

I thought about purple, but I can't find anything purple either. Silver? Maybe a clear?

The CL here is usually pretty awful. Unless you love Precious Moments and ugly plaid/floral couches. But I'll look. I did look at Goodwill the other day when I was there and found nothing I could spraypaint.

Have you checked Gordmans ours has awesome lamps most of the time
