We Finally Upgraded Our Bedroom Lamps

April 17, 2024 by jessica

Purchasing new lamps for our bedroom was long overdue. As I get older, I’m pickier about the home items I buy. I want to invest in heirloom-quality pieces that I’ll love for decades to come — not just a quick replacement or cheap thrill. That takes a lot of time. It takes time to weed through hundreds of items online, read reviews, put together mood boards, and — perhaps most crucially — have a “cooling off” period to ensure that it’s really the right item.

I originally added these lamps to my Pinterest board at the beginning of my shopping journey, but continued to browse in case I fell in love with something else. And, yet, I came back to these. I’m a sucker for Schoolhouse’s designs and commitment to quality (cloth-covered cords seem to be rare these days), and I adore that the base is hand-blown glass crafted from vintage molds. It’s a perfect marriage of craftsmanship and design versatility. The hardest part was selecting the lampshade color, but I eventually selected the warmer hue of the natural burlap.

To make sure I liked the lamps with the pieces I already owned, I put together a quick mockup (above). Fortunately, the IRL version turned out as great as I hoped based on my collage.
