Vintage Finds 6.1.2011

I found these lamps at a garage sale for $10. After having the wiring replaced, and buying $20 shades from Target, I tried them out in my bedroom for a little while. My husband didn't love them, so I changed out the lamps and set these in the closet for a little while.

In my decor project at my brother-in-law's place, he was in need of some lamps, so I brought them back out.They actually have a teak base and top, and the center ceramic part is very Jonathan Adler.
