Here's the picture where you can get an idea for the "doublemint effect"! I couldn't really get a good one with both sets of lamps but this gives you theidea.

Lots and Lots of Lamps
I've had these lamps for about a month but have been reluctant to post about them because I cannot decide how I really feel about them in my room. Honestly, I love the two new lamps on my dresser and they give great light. The problem is now I have 2 pairs of matching lamps in the room and I feel like that's confusing or overwhelming or something. Maybe it just feels like the Doublemint twins are living in my house. What do you think? I could easily just move one of the lamps from my dresser to another room (like the living room which could use a lamp). I have some make-over ideas for the mirror. I really need a large mirror because I use it every day but I think this one may need a change.
The metal tray is from Marshalls - I could not pass it up. Yes, another tray!

Here is what my dresser looked like before which I don't think I have every posted here before. Yikes.
Jim's dresser is another story entirely. I am on the hunt for a new dresser for him and his current dresser will be reused in Alex's big boy room next year. I got him that tray for Christmas because his STUFF needed to be contained. It's a miracle!
What do you think of my lamp issue? Keep both, neither, or one?

i love the modern edge that the style of the lamos gives the rooom. however, i think the dresser is not quote large enough to support 2 lamps of their size. i think it ends up lookins a little too crowded on top of the dresser. i would keep the lamp that is farther from the doorway- knowing me, i could easily knock that other one down upon entering the room, but i am a little klutzy. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the lamps but two together kind of overwhelm the mirror and tray. Maybe keep one and get a larger tray?
ReplyDeleteI love the lamps but feel 2 is a bit overwhelming. I don't think it's the "double mint" effect as much as it is the space issue on the dresser.
ReplyDeleteI'm with the three posts above. I also think that the lamp you keep would do better with some height. Raising the lamp on some inexepensive books from a garaga sale...and then, depending on how that looks, maybe raising the mirror a few inches, too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all the changes you're making and I do love the lamps AND trays are brilliant!
I would tend to agree... the lamps are great but I think 2 of them are too large for the dresser. I would keep one, and maybe add a pretty vase of blooms on the other side of the mirror to balance it out. Nice lamps! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like those lamps. I see what the others are saying about it looking crowded, but I get the feeling that maybe the first picture makes the dresser seem smaller than it is. In the second picture I can't see the other end of the dresser or the second lamp, so it seems like it might be fine. Hard to really tell (at least for me). Regardless, I really like those lamps :)
