Finding kickass lamps is easy. At any given thrift store, flea market or estate sale you can bet your paycheck that I’ll walk out with one. The hard part is finding ones with shades that don’t make them look dingy and dated. I know that a new modern drum shade will make any of them a fabulous find, but often they cost more than the lamp itself. So when I come across a source for an affordable option, I take note…and since I love y’all and want you to have kickass lamps in YOUR homes, I put together this little list of affordable drum shades (I kept the selections under $30) to spruce up your swap meet scores!
