A Different Lamp and Thrift Finds

The table lamps in the family room have been bugging me for years.
Here's a pic from earlier in the year; and you can see they're really beige and boring.

Today, I finally found a new lamp that I like, at a really reasonable price, so I used it with two thrift pieces for a new look on one of the end tables in the family room.

The lamp is a definite update from the old ones, but it was a tad shorter than I wanted, so I set it on a wooden box to give it a bit more height.

I love pewter, and although this isn't real pewter, it has a shine and a look that speaks to me.
It's actually Wilton Armetale.

Since there isn't a glass top on this little table, I decided the metal tray could serve as a place to set a glass or cup...as well as hold the candle. 
Oh, and I changed the tablecloth to a more neutral khaki color.

The big red apple looks like wood, but is actually some sort of pottery and very heavy.  It also has a neat metal leaf and stem.
It seems like I have a metal thing going, as the lamp looks like it's metal too.
I was too lazy to move the phone, and now that I look at it, there's that metallic look again.

I decided not to put a table lamp on the other end table, but use a floor lamp by the wing chair... I'll show you that another time. That side of the room was a big mess.
You know how it is.

Well, it isn't a big change. But, it'll do...for now.

Let's go join these great parties...
