Step right up and take a look!

My mother has it in her head that she needs a floor lamp. And she knows exactly how she wants it to look, but doesn't want to pay a premium for it, so she asked me to search on Craigslist for one. What I found was a freak show of floor lamps like you've never seen. It was as if every bizarre lamp from the corners of the earth found its way to Richmond to huddle in a little circus of oddities. Check these out...

They started out with some colors that might be found in nature, but I hope wouldn't be found in your house...
























































I don't even know what to call this...

















This one looks like a mummy standing in the corner...





















And it kind of freaks me out when it's lit up...





















This lamp was titled "Project" and you never really saw a picture of the entire lamp.



































And finally, I think this one was my favorite. I don't know what kind of house you would have to have for this to work, but I'd be interested in seeing it. It is called a "Tudor lamp".
