“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Ever hear that phrase? Well, it’s a true fact. And these lamps are absolute epitome of this truth. One person might look at these lamps and think their glossy brownish ceramic body is an absolute stunning example of shabby chic excellence. Fall in love instantly. Feel an irresistible urge to own these lamps NOW, whatever the cost. Because to that person, shabby chic vibes are the cat’s ass. But another person, say someone who’s a minimalist with an eye for fine design, might have a hard time looking at them at all. Crinkling up their face like they just watched a miniature donkey poop diarrhea. Too graphic? Sorry. But you get the point right? There’s a spectrum here. One seemingly separate soul might call them “mid-century modern” (MCM) and regard them as the sort of bedside table lamps the Jetsons would have had on their bedside tables if they were real people instead of cartoon people. And respond to this ad in a panic, begging to come take them away, even at three times the price. Still another might just think they’re “kitschy,” and simply adore the ceramic base but feel the shades are total ass. And buy ‘em for that base, not the ugly shade. But are these shades ugly? Depends! See? Beauty in the eye of the beholder! No matter how you look at these lamps, you should know they’re 30” tall from base to top of shade. And the shade itself is 14” diameter at top, and 17” diameter at bottom. I want you to also know that they both work great. You twist the knob at the base of the shade, where the lightbulb screws in (I’ll include the bulbs if you’re nice) and voila! LIGHT. Kitschy shabbychic MCM rays of proof that this world is made of perception, from ones own projections. Disclaimer: I’ve written better Craigslist ads in my day. But my policy is not to edit once I get going. So I’m going to go with this as it is. And chalk it up to “can’t win ‘em all.” Also though? Someone might LOVE this ad. Cuz again, one person’s ick is another person’s yum, you dig? Whatever. Just buy these lamps, OK? Then slither back into the hole you crawled out of. And eat some cereal in your pajamas, after four more bong hits. I’m kidding! See, if that wasn’t funny, even more proof of the theme here! Humor is the same as beauty. SubjectiveAF. Hi. Let’s walk on the beach and hold hands sometime.
