Thrift Store Finds . . . June 30, 2010 I found these lamps at a random thrift store for $6.50 which I think was a total steal! I actually left them the first time around because they were a bit heavy and I wasn’t 100% sold, but one night without them made me change my mind. These will be refinished (maybe painting the shade??) and sold to a friend who has already made their intentions known! I also saw this a few days ago, and know I would’ve taken it with me if only I had a small storage unit!! I highly doubt it’s an authentic Duncan Phyfe, but it certainly appears to be well-made, and a trip to the upholsterer would really set this OFF! This is definitely the type of sofa I’d use in my office if I had a brick & mortar shop (or even a separate dwelling next to my house)–love!

I have been looking for that sofa. Well, I guess I’ll have to keep looking… Reply alissa June 30, 2010 at 8:24 am (9 years ago) Great finds! I recently took a lamp similar to the ones you showed from my Grandparents house. I can’t wait to pain it! Reply Karen@StrictlySimpleStyle June 30, 2010 at 8:25 am (9 years ago) I love the shape of that sofa. What type of fabric would you have used if you’d bought and had it reupholstered? Reply LifeIsPichey June 30, 2010 at 8:58 am (9 years ago) Love the lamps! I’m thinking maybe paint them one solid color and cover the shades with a funky pattern. Keep us posted on the transformation! Reply JIN June 30, 2010 at 9:43 am (9 years ago) $6.50? Good deal! Reply alison (semi-fab lane) June 30, 2010 at 9:54 am (9 years ago) do you feel sick leaving that sofa behind?! i think i have a problem and can’t leave something that beautiful combined with a deal. Reply thelennoxx June 30, 2010 at 12:28 pm (9 years ago) That sofa is really nice, I can definitely envision it in a lighter material. The shape is a true classic. Can’t wait to see what you make out of the lamps =) Reply niki.mac June 30, 2010 at 1:46 pm (9 years ago) These are two GREAT finds… I can’t wait to start picking up items for my place! 🙂 Reply Dayka (Life +Style) June 30, 2010 at 3:16 pm (9 years ago) Karen–I have been thinking about that, and am working on sharing the fabric(s) that I would use to reupholster the sofa. Alison–I do! Looking back at my blog today, I was thinking that maybe I should’ve just bit the bullet and bought it . . . Reply Sharstin June 30, 2010 at 6:35 pm (9 years ago) wow! these are great finds! that couch has awesome potensial~ can’t wait to see the lamps~ Reply {Arianna Belle} July 1, 2010 at 2:22 pm (9 years ago) Reupholstered that piece would be bananas! Great finds! Reply Beth@The Stories of A2Z July 1, 2010 at 5:17 pm (9 years ago) You have a great eye for lamps my friend and that sofa would be incredible. I think you need to rent a storage unit!
