New lamp!

I've been needing a new bedroom lamp for some time now - the cats knocked the old ones off the night stand so often that the lamp shade had cracks.... also, it seemed to be getting dimmer.

On a recent walk through pottery barn, I discovered 2 red silk lamps shades, they were the perfect shade of red and a shape I liked. On clearance, they were $9 - hard to pass up, so I picked them up. Went to Ikea and came across the perfect lamp base (Pottery barn started at $110) for $20. Voila - a new lamp for the bedroom (price tag and plastic still on it)- check it out:
The old lamp - from Ikea years ago.

Great bargain! Looks like you found a good combination of lamp shade and base. Hopefully the cats won't show interest in them.
