Where is a good place to buy reasonably priced lamps?

15 years ago

I am almost done with our master bedroom makeover, but I'm really needing some new lamps. The lamps we have now were $13 clearance specials at Lowes.

I want something different and more stylish, but I don't know exactly what it is that I want. I have looked through the lamps at ballard, pb, target.com, ikea, jc penney.com and overstock waiting for something to jump out at me. Unfortunately, the only ones that jumped out at me were $300 per lamp -- not in the budget right now.

So where are some good places (online or brick & mortar) to find stylish lamps that won't bust the budget?

Have you tried Lampsplus.com? I've been buying from them for years and have never been disappointed in either the lamp or the prices, in fact, I think their prices are much better than anywhere else. They have every style imaginable. The selection is amazing and the prices range low to high.

Is there a HomeGoods near you? They have some very cool crystal-looking (well, I think they're glass, but they just might be crystal) lamps, I know. (Not old-fashioned-looking; stacked geometric shapes that are very fashionable.)

I think the StoneYard in Littleton is a bit pricey! I've priced out some items there and kept walking. But great selection! Terrible hours as I recall. One time I wanted to stop in on a Saturday and they were closed!!! Not sure if that is still the case. For Granite, Fletcher Granite in Westford is another possibility. I think they have non-granite too but I forget for sure. There is a decent sized place in Groton near Pepperell -- Colonial Stoneyard. It is run by the brother of The Stoneyard in Littleton. THey used to both run Colonial and I think there may have been some kind of family falling out. I had Colonial build me a fieldstone stone wall many years ago before the split-up. We had some disagreement in the end about the finished product, but I forget the details. I don't know if the new Colonial is smaller than it was once the brothers split up. Its in an out of the way place. I frequently see small stone places a lot here and there along secondary roads. Even Agway carries some selection of stone. There's such a small place along rte 27 in (West?) Acton that always looks interesting. And also on Rte 113 in Dunstable.

Where to buy reasonably priced wool yarn?

Just a suggestion: Are you sure you want pure wool? It would not only be expensive but difficult to launder, especially with an item that large. I might go with a synthetic for both of those reasons.

Hi. I am also in the process of shopping for cabinet pulls (euro style stainless steel pulls) Not sure if that's what you are looking for. I found some very reasonably priced ones on ebay 12" solid stainless steel for $4.00 each (seller: contempo_living) There are even cheaper sellers than that but apparently, even tho' they advertised as solid stainless steel, they are actually made out of metal material (do the magnet test) I did order a sample from a seller who advertised stainless steel but when I put a magnet to it, it was obviously not stainless steel. I have not ordered a sample pull at contempo_living, but according to their website, they claimed they are solid stainless steel. Ask for a discount too (they offerd a 10% discount on mine) If you find another seller on ebay, make sure you ask them if they are real solid stainless steel before you buy! Good Luck!

There's a Lowes nearby, so that will be convenient. My windows are single and double crank outs so not that wide. I'll check it out. Do you recall what time of year they run the discounts? Sometimes places run specials right after Labor Day because that's usually a dead time for people to shop.

I second HomeGoods. Also, I've bought very nice ones at Target (brick and mortar). It seems like Target online has a completely different (and much more expensive) selection than the actual store.

I second kgsd's suggestion-- target store has different stock than what is online. I have also done well at the pb and rh factory stores... and I watch Horchow for their 25% off sales.

I just saw some pretty crystal lamps at Marshalls. The only problem is my store didn't seem to have matching pairs, if that's what you're looking for.

I was going to suggest JC Penney, but I see you've already been there.

Does the lamp have to shed a lot of light? If not, take a look at this.

Seeing as you want something "different and more stylish," think about making your own lamp. You could wire a vase, urn, or piece of driftwood. Or buy a lamp you aren't 100% crazy about and cover it up with paint, fabric, colored yarn or wire, or mosaic tiles.
