I Love Lamp

Seriously, I do! We're decorating our bonus room right now, and I'm fixated on finding the perfect lamp. About a month ago my handsome decorating boyfriend, Nate Berkus, used surveyor lamps in a room design and I fell in love. The rustic/contemporary style would be perfect for our manly bonus room. The look I'm going for is sort of British Gentlemen's Club. Like a smoking club. Dark woods, army green. It's going to be fabulous.

I saw the lamps at HomeGoods for $79 and couldn't pull the trigger. Lesson learned because the lamps are now gone. Sad sad day in the SE household. Well maybe only for me, not sure my husband shared in the sadness. Now that I've started searching for these elusive lamps, at an equal price point, I've become fixated on the beautiful wonder that is tripod lamps. These are my favorites from LampsPlus!

What's your opinion-- do you like the tripod lamps? And has anybody else ever fixated on something crazy like this for their house?
