Digging for a gold lamp, that is.
As I was searching for images for this post, I realized I have a serious addiction to gold lamps. There’s nothing wrong with that right? Guess that just means I need to put one in my home so I can stop continually blogging about them!
Anyway, I saw the first gold lamp on Bravo’s Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis. Do you watch that show? Last week was the first time I’ve tuned in and I wouldn’t mind watching it again this week. I’ve been dreaming about that lamp since I first saw it and I can’t find it anywhere. Except in that second image. I thought perhaps Bravo would have it sourced on their site, but I didn’t see anything.
Finally, I found the third lamp, a very similar style, on a Danish website which then led me to an US site. (Which told me that the lamp is over $2,000! Total bummer.) After that, I gave up my search and started looking for glossy gold spray paints to create my own version of this lamp.
My question is – what do you do in situations like this? Have you ever searched high and low for something you’ve seen on television or another outlet? It seems that with the Internet finding such things can be pretty attainable, but what happens when you don’t find what you’re looking for that easily or affordably? Do you then DIY it?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
