Classic furniture from my mother in law
 

When we cleaned out her home in Arizona, my mother in law pleaded with me to take her favorite lamp. She said she purchased it at Knott's Berry Farm which I never knew had a furniture department. The lamp is about 50 inches tall and I placed it by the dining room chair for scale.

In some way it reminds me of that leg shaped lamp int he Christmas movie. FRAGILEEE!

Lovely. How very 70s.

I have some stuff like that from my mom. Hideous, but I grew up with the stuff and it's so ironically ugly I hate to part with it. Lamps are especially good examples of this particular phenomenon. I have this one hanging lamp that . . . I just tried to describe but I can't. I'll have to take a photo.

straight off a James Bond Movie Set

I'm sorry, but that is hideous. at least to my 40yo eyes. Nicely preserved, though. And Huuuuge!

I should add that the part about a foot of off the ground that is sort of pear shaped, she used to put spare change and chewing gum and indigestion tablets there.Very convenient.

LOL - my son has a lamp in his room with a wooden base (also very 70s, inherited), and it has sort of a dish shaped bottom like that, for holding spare change, thumbtacks, and assorted Lego pieces.

Your MIL knows classic? Way cool.





Oh.

HEY! Thats where my lamp ended up - Was there money inside it?

I think you should rub the lamp, chris....

Is that what they're calling it these days? :3eye:

That's what I though Monster was going for.

You're all thinking dirty about me.....

Well, sure. Can you blame us? :D
