Sometimes I'm out shopping for something totally practical and get distracted by beautiful things that I really don't need. This problem becomes even more pronounced when I get myself into IKEA.
I have plenty of lamps in my house, but this one caught my eye and I've seriously been thinking about it all week.

I have such a crush on this task light...it's becoming a problem.
Why am I making such a big deal about this? Well, look at it! It's beautiful! The perfect mix of traditional, practical, a little industrial with a hint of nautical! And it's from IKEA, which means it's affordable!
If you're crushing, too...
This is the Barometer Work Lamp from IKEA in nickel (also available in red)
It's yours from only $49.99
Also check out the Barometer Floor Lamp for $10 more.
Meet the Splurges
This is Splurges v. Savings, right? Allow me to introduce you to the exact same styling, but for at least three times the price. There is definitely an upgrade in quality of materials when you decide to splurge, but when it comes to style...the lamp from IKEA packs as good of a punch as it's expensive cousins.
