You can bend the "frame" of the lamp so that the head bends in different directions, and it's similar to the chunky ones you ended with in your post. It's quite large, and it has three light bulbs inside. Anyway, I think it's really nice :)tulsanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-69222299424508043932012-11-15T23:19:09.898-08:002012-11-15T23:19:09.898-08:00I have the Z Gallerie one and I LOVE it - I think ...I have the Z Gallerie one and I LOVE it - I think it would look great in that space - the shade isn't too big and you can always spray paint the base if you want something poppy in the corner :)Adi Edlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08538610367510943543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-46816221660982289492012-11-15T20:09:11.097-08:002012-11-15T20:09:11.097-08:00Wow, thanks!

Find a large Chinese paper lantern which would still be smaller than ikea and you can either leave it in the globe shape or cut it in half ( you would have to use something else to reinforce it since the metal thing that goes in the center would not work anymore. look inside the one you have to see how they keep the shape.) Or you can paint the big one you have now red and make it more a a focal point for the room.Gypsy Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04806033253206873482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-40048376119243911012012-11-15T09:55:57.751-08:002012-11-15T09:55:57.751-08:00I think that, although I understand why you first ...I think that, although I understand why you first went for the IKEA one, the target one will fit in better with the rest of your decor. And the way you found it, in its box, at Goodwill, too... I think it was waiting for you to choose it. ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05722681521224577886noreply@blogger.com
