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
