It actually looks better here than it does in person. When my husband saw it he said "that is one ugly lamp". I believe in this lamp! I know it has potential!! I will soldier onward and try again tomorrow - with lamp in hand this time :)

Thrifting
I have been inspired by reading home design bloggers who frequent garage sales and thrift shops to find other people's castaways that they turn into beautiful pieces for their home. I took a stroll through our local Value Village and found this lamp for $7.99.
I am still not sure what I think of it. I like the cat tails on it because we live out in the country and often see them in the ditches. The colours work in my living room but I am not sure what colour or style of shade to put with it. I am going to have a look tonight to see what I can find. I will post a photo of what I come up with. Any ideas?
