Cheap and Chic: Floor Lamp

I've been searching for two floor lamps: one for our basement living area and the other for a bedroom on the second floor. Stylish and good-quality floor lamps don't come cheap, so my first instinct was to turn to local classified. I didn't have much luck there. And then came the West Elm's 20% summer lighting sale. I've always wanted this tripod quadpod Adjustable Metal Floor Lamp in polished nickel so I immediately ordered one.

I also really like this Stephen Antonson Nautilus Floor Lamp with cream linen shade. What had set me back a little is the $385 price tag. Even with an attractive 20% discount, I still couldn't justify spending $350 on a floor lamp that we would only use occasionally.

And then I came across this lookalike at HomeSense today - a turned floor lamp painted in white with white linen shade! I grabbed it without any second thought at a cheap-and-chic price tag of $80! Can you see I am doing the happy dance now?

Hope you all have a great weekend. This weather is a bit too muggy for comfort.
