For the Love of Good Lighting!

My new apartment decor is slowly but surely coming together!

Though I'll be filling the entire apartment, I've been focusing on my bedroom. I know this is where I'll spend a lot of my time, and seeing a beautiful room every day makes me so much more energized about getting up and getting things done!

Lately, I've been looking at lighting and bedside tables!

I am a huge fan of symmetry, and I think having a matching lamp and nightstand on both sides of your bed really balances the room.

The only problem, I haven't been able to find just the right lighting. I really like the Signature Lamp from Pottery Barn Teen, but with an $89/lamp price tag, I thought I was better off leaving them at the store.

This morning, it came to me. 

Here's my way to get the monogrammed lamp look for less:
 I plan on going to Target and picking up a plain white lamp shade and a base that I really like. It will probably look something like this!

Then, I'm going to jump on Etsy and order matching monogram decals to go on the shades! So cute!

Pink Pineapple Vinyl Designs offers a set of matching monograms in your choice of color and style for under $10, and they ship in just a few days!

How cute would monogrammed lamps be on top of this mirrored bedside table I'm eyeing?!

...and the matching coffee table! Love!

As always, Have a Sweet Day!
