Our Hopeful Home: glass bottle lamp

Things have been crazy around here recently so I haven't had time for much crafting so to speak, but I did manage to hit a local Goodwill this past weekend. I saw the prize, and sent my daughter scrambling for a shopping cart. I picked this baby up right away before another shopper ~~nabbed it up~~ got it. It's part of a trend that we've all seen in magazines and on blogs these past months. The glass bottle lamp. Right after I got home I received the latest Ballard Designs catalog and lo and behold, what to my wandering eyes should appear right there on page 4?

Bordeaux Table Lamp

$149.00

Wow. Mine's a bit different, but I think they're pretty similar. And guess how much mine cost?

Read it and weep, people.

That's right. $2.99.

Well, OK, it didn't have a shade, but for that price whose complaining?

I paired it with a burlap drum shade recently purchased from Target. I think it's a good match!

I like that mine has the "No. 5" on it. Makes it just a bit funkier than your average glass bottle lamp.

I must admit that Google got the best of me and I searched for similar lamps. I came up with a fabulous vintage bottle lamp I just have to share with you.
