Absolutely Disgusting
Wifely Kate suggested I post my feelings about this lamp. Basically, whoever said a man’s home is his castle never had to look at the thing.
Kate bought it a year ago from an antique store in Graham, Texas.
The antique store was great, I love visiting little towns with Kate, antique-ing is a wonderful way to experience history and culture and motif-laden objects, but c’mon, this lamp is ridiculous. It was $10 on the SALE! table, and I wonder why.
This lamp has been the (ostensible) subject of some fights recently, so we’re trying to figure out what to do with it. Feel free to leave your own aesthetic evaluation in the comments. She says if enough people are anti-lamp, she’ll consider getting rid of it!

This lamp is fantastic – I love it, it’s an antique, and I bought it while we were away for the weekend, celebrating our 1 year anniversary of being with each other. And it provides excellent lighting for the guest room, where it was banished by one Douglas Lucas.
I think it’s cute!! Vintage! You’d pay $90 for it at Urban Outfitters. :)
Kira, I’m feeding you to the lions. :-p
If I were forced to be honest, I would say that the lamp does absolutely nothing for me, and I wouldn’t want it in my apartment.
But…I am swayed by the fact that it was bought while celebrating your 1 year anniversary of being together. Sometimes context trumps aesthetics.
Raj, it can be said that you have a point, but I’m still feeding you to the lions, my friend. =D
What’s not to like? I’m sure Dagny Taggart had lots of these strewn about her house. It has a marble base! Like a trophy!!!!
No, really, I do like it… find something else to fight over.
My lamp shall prevail.
That’s a pretty bad lamp. Looks like a jellyfish.
careful, pannill, or you’ll get it as a wedding present
Ok, I like this lamp. In fact, I’ll give you $0.99 for it. I’ll save it for Andy and I’ll wrap it up as a Christmas present to him every year. Andy, do you remember that George would wrap up an old frying pan and Louise would wrap up old house shoes, each sneak around and put the package under the Christmas tree every year. On Christmas morning they would exchange gifts, open them and laugh and laugh like they had never done that before. This went on for at least 15 years! If you won’t sell it to me then wrap up the lamp and give it to her for Christmas and she can wrap the Yoda for you! I guess I have a wierd sense of humor.
But why is the top crooked?
