Frugal Decorating - My $2 Lamp!!

Today I'm joining one of my all-time favorite home decorating bloggers for her Lampapalooza party. Check out the other lamps at The Nester's Party today!!

I like to peruse Goodwill about once a month for home decorating items on the cheap. I'm always looking out for something I can repurpose or spruce up and had been looking for a pretty lamp for my dining room/entry way for some time.

Then I saw it! A beautiful white hobnail glass lamp that screamed "BUY ME!" And it was marked $4.00. But I didn't pay $4.00 - I paid half that! $2.00 for this lovely old lamp.



See its pretty little bottom?



I added this shade I got for $8 on clearance at Garden Ridge and it's now a $10 lamp. Not bad for an antique!

Very cute. Looks like retro Paris apartment with the black and white shade.

What a great find. Our Goodwill never has fun things like that. The shade is just perfect too.
