Today I’m writing about my daughter’s lamps that I never got a chance to post about yet. If you remember correctly I bought a $3 brass swing arm lamp at the thriftstore a while ago for my daughter’s room. After that I was on a mission to find another matching swing arm and I just didn’t have any luck at the thrift stores. When I knew that DIY magazine was going to come to my house that search intensified because I didn’t just want one lamp in the photos of her bedroom. That’s where Kenroy Home came to the rescue. (This is not a sponsored post but I was provided the lamps by Kenroy Home. All opinions are 100% my own)

I fell in love with the Kenroy Home Brass Swing Arm Lamps (click HERE* to see) immediately when I saw them and knew a pair would be perfect for my daughter’s space.

Here is a photo of her old lamp to refresh your memory and if you are new around here then you can click HERE to see how I made her headboard and HERE to see her latest room update:

The new bedside brass swing arm lamps from have a much more modern shape to them which I like a lot better and they were really easy to install.

All I had to do is attach the hardware to the wall with my favorite screw in plastic anchors, attach the copper wire to the grounding screw and attach the brass plate and arm over that with the two provided brass screws.

After that I just screwed the hardware for the brass wire cover in place the same way I attached the other hardware. Then I placed the wire inside and cover everything with the pretty brass rail that came with everything.

Doesn’t it all look pretty together?

The only thing I changed up was the lamp shade. The lamp come with this pleated shade but I used the white and orange shades that I had purchased at Target for the old lamps because they match the fabric and pillows on the bed.

Here are the different shades. Orange on the inside and white on the outside (I don’t think they sell them anymore). They give a really nice warm glow when turned on.

It’s perfect for her because it doubles as a desk lamp and also gives her more space on her tiny desk because it doesn’t take away table surface. Click HERE to see more of her room.

    As someone who reads in bed, I really appreciate a good swing arm lamp. We’ve had them for years! But the 2 in your daughter’s room? Gorgeous!

    I love it! The brass wire cover makes it even more fabulous and the inside of the shade rocks! I’m STILL looking for bathroom lighting so I will need to look into this company!

    • Julia says

      Thanks and you totally should look into them.

    I have similar swing arm lamps that came with our house, I’m sure I’ll use them somewhere! Love the orange lined shade!!

    • Julia says

      Oh I can’t wait to see where you will use yours.

    Love them and the touch of whimsy with the pops of color on the side.

    I truly love your two new lamps! They are exactly what I wanted for my bedroom, but I had to settle for two Oil Rubbed Bronze, because they were only $11.99 each at Lowes. And they do not have the double swing arm. But again, single swing will work for me. I have such tiny bedrooms that I need wall lamps, so kitty kats don’t knock them over constantly. And since the new windows that were already installed when I purchased this house are the dark bronze, I will live with them.

    I just can’t afford $85. each ….. but I love yours.

    • Julia says

      January 7, 2015 at 11:45 am

      I’m sure yours are gorgeous too and you could always rub and buff them to make them gold.

    Beautiful, Julia! I just added a set to my daughter’s room also. I love the look and she loves the novelty of them! The shades you switched out are perfect.

      Thanks Jennifer, did you I miss you posting about your lamps?

    So pretty! The white and orange shades are so much better than the old school pleated ones.

    I agree, so perfect!! I have a thing for swing arm lamps, their always as pretty as they are functional!

    • Julia says

      January 7, 2015 at 11:46 am

      Thanks Pam, I never used to even consider using them because I was afraid my daughter would use them as handles or swings LOL but I’m glad I gave them a chance.

      Haha, thanks that’s what I keep telling her. So now why is she telling me to paint the walls black? It’s too early at 8 years old!!!

    The swing arm lamp plus desk as nightstand set up is genious. I’ll put that on my list of must haves in the future.

      Thanks Amber, now why on earth does she want black walls?!?!?!

  17. Shavonda says

    January 7, 2015 at 10:57 pm

    Omg seriously love them Julia. They are just perfect. I need to look into something like this for our master bedroom. Our area is so small where the bed is and traditional lamps take up so much space on our small nightstands. So fab chica!

    • Julia says

      January 8, 2015 at 6:14 am

      You totally should, thanks

  18. Amber @ Simple Dwellings says

    I love them!! Great job. I also love the way the shades have that pop of color on the inside. ๐Ÿ™‚ What a sweet room.

    • Julia says

      Thank you Roeshel, I just wish she wouldn’t continuously ask me to paint it black now ๐Ÿ˜‰

    • Julia says

    • Julia says

      January 8, 2015 at 6:52 pm

      Thanks and yes they are such great space savers. Lets just hope they never decide to try to hang on them ๐Ÿ˜‰ #nomonkeybars
