Currently Looking For: Inexpensive Lamps

Why are lamps so expensive?  I'd like to replace the lamps in my living room so I can move them up to my bedroom, but I just don't want to spend the money.  I haven't done much looking, so there might be some super secret cheap lamp store I haven't seen, but so far I haven't run across it.  I'm thinkin' I'd like something like this:


Really simple, but not $150.
I'd also need a table top lamp.  This little tripod lamp is $39.99 at Target:

This little tripod table lamp is $329 at Target.

  1. Jeremy and I have found nice lighting at Lowe's and Home Depot for pretty reasonable prices. I looked on Lowe's tonight and they have several floor lamps similar to the pic you posted ranging from $50 for one lamp or $88 for a 4-piece set of lamps. Hope this helps!

  2. I just saw some lamps at my Goodwill that still had plastic and tags on them! JC Penney sometimes has some good ones on clearance {online} and Home Goods/Marshalls/TJ Maxx are always good to check. Lowe's {in store} also has a nice selection and you can purchase the shade separate.

  3. Check out Walmart (in store). I just bought some for my family room and they are the Canopy brand I believe. I bought separate drum shades and they look great. For both, they were like $60.

    Have you checked HomeGoods for lamps? I feel like they usually have pretty decent things for fair prices. Good luck in the search!

  7. I saw a tripod lamp at Target last night that looked very similar to the ones you posted! It was $27. It was on an end cap at the Target in Triangle Town Center. Just in case you're interested... :)

  8. Ah! I bought the exact same shelves from Target and had the EXACT same problem! I actually tore up my receipt from Target, rolled it into a few small balls and shoved it in the holes on the back of the shelf. Worked like a charm. Great minds.... :)
