We are continuing the tour around my living room this week. Next stop: my newly refurbished thrift store lamps. I found these for $3.00 each and saw some great potential. I love the shape of them both. I also like that they are different, but just similar enough to look like they go together.

Here they are before.

I took the same green color from our kitchen wall and used it on the lamps to tie the two rooms together.

I found the lamp shades at Home Goods for $12.99 a piece. As soon as I saw the price tag, I snatched them up pronto!

Our living room has no main overhead light, so these have made a fantastic addition to the space. I can actually see now–it’s great.

Total cost for each lamp: $16.00

Does anyone else love that green color as much as I do? Now that my walls are a little more neutral, the green is just what the room needs to give it some life. The windows desperately need drapes, but the fabric I want is not in my budget at the moment ( I need quite a bit). Hopefully I can save enough over the next few months to finally get this room finished.
