We picked up a bunch of free lamps and a few furniture items from a hotel that was remodeling and liquidating their old stuff. To keep our home from looking to industrially hotel-ish, I decided to zone in on the lampshades. Here's the first with inspiration from this lampshade from Anthropologie (see below). I did go to Anthro for this little drawer handle for the hotel nightstand in an attempt to make it more homey.
But one great thing about these industrial lamps that I do like is the light switch and outlet at the base. Now I keep my laptop, books, and magazines in the hotel nightstand drawer and I can easily plug in my electronics in my cuddly, now well-lit reading corner.
