It’s already time for another Best of the Instagram post! This month, I searched high & low for vintage table lamps. After sharing my plaster lamp DIY last week (which came from Mooijane), I received many link requests and ideas for fixtures that could be plastered. Mooijane is honestly a gold mine for vintage lighting. If I’m looking for a unique lamp, Mooijane is the first resource I’ll check. This post will require some imagination though. I find many people have trouble envisioning vintage lighting in their space- especially from Mooijane. Many vendors don’t style their pieces, they’re not photographed well, and some components have to be updated to modernize the fixture (for aesthetic and functional purposes). I know that seems like a less-than-favorable shopping experience, but I’m here to tell you- you can score some incredible pieces at great price points if you’re willing to dig… just like you would in a normal thrift store. Ready to see what I found? Click through for a GIANT roundup of vintage table lamps…
There are lots of hidden gems and “project lamps” in this mix. Like I mentioned in the intro, be open-minded and try to envision how these could be tweaked to fit your personal aesthetic (plaster the base, spray paint, swap the shade, polish, etc.).
Shop my finds by clicking directly on each vintage lamp below! I also wanted to share a few vintage light fixture purchasing tips with you…
