Look what I found in the trash….
Not mine, of course.
It’s amazing what people will throw away…..
Like all good dumpster dives, I was just in the right place at the right time. A little internet research (how did people find out anything before the internet?) determined that it was a George Kovacs chrome stacked ball lamp. I found a couple more at “mid-century” online shops.
I knew it was familiar, but couldn’t quite place where I had seen it before.
Then it hit me. PINTEREST.
See it there next to the sock monkey on Michael Bastian’s desk? Love
And that black drum shade is exactly what I would put with it.
After rummaging through a few online lamp sites to find just the right black drum shade…I found FenchelShades.com. Where I entered all the dimensions and they produce exactly what I want. Genius
13 High, 13 Wide, Black Matte Paper with nickel hardware…..
Not quite sure where to put it yet….We I seem to have a lot of items that fall into this category. That’s why our garage is packed to the ceiling.
I’ll find a place for her by the time my new shade arrives……….Stay tuned
Kudos on the score! That black shade rocks!

I keep seeing it all over Pinterest now …Weird? or Kismet?
Seriously? Someone tossed this lovely lady in the trash? She’s a real beaut! Glad she has a good home now.
Every discard has a home here….hehe
That is the most awesome dumpster dive find ever! Yay for y’all!
Certainly one of my best…aside from the red lockers in the den…

Firstly, that’s an amazing find! Secondly, why do I never find anything remotely amazing in the trash?
