We love giving away lamps — it’s one of our favorite things to do. If you missed out last week, here’s another chance to win a beautiful piece of lighting to brighten your home. This week’s giveaway is a stylish accent lamp from The Shade Shop & Lighting Gallery in Charlottesville, Virginia, a local destination known for its wide selection of table lamps, floor lamps, chandeliers, wall sconces, occasional tables and of course, lamp shades.
The Shade Shop offers an evolving gallery of lighting options, including classic and contemporary styles. They recently received a new line of Bunny Williams lamps, which has the store buzzing. In addition to their curated collections, the shop provides custom lampwork and repair services. That means if you’re after a truly unique lamp they can create it, and if anything ever needs fixing, they can repair it as well.
For this week’s prize they’ve generously donated an antique-nickel-clad Lucy Accent Lamp valued at $298. It’s a well-crafted piece with a clean, versatile look that will complement many decor styles and serve as a focal point in a living room, bedroom, or office. We hope you’ll have a hard time breaking it, but rest assured the shop’s repair services are available should anything unexpected occur.
Entering is simple. Comment on this post with the words “GIMME A LIGHT” by Wednesday, March 4th at 8pm EST to be eligible. To make the giveaway more personal, we’d love to hear what you loved most about your college hometown in the same comment. As a fan of Charlottesville, I could go on about its charming downtown, historic neighborhoods, and vibrant college-town culture — it was once named a top place to live in the United States. My co-host Sherry has great memories of her college days in New York City, which happens to be where we met, so we enjoy hearing hometown stories of all kinds.
Please note the prize can be shipped to addresses within the contiguous United States (lower 48 states). Only one entry per email address is allowed. Multiple entries from the same email will be disqualified. Winners will be selected at random and contacted via the email address used to enter. We’ll announce the winner shortly after the deadline.
This giveaway is a great opportunity to add an elegant accent lamp to your space without spending a dime. Whether you’re decorating a dorm-ready apartment, updating a living room, or searching for the perfect bedside light, the Lucy Accent Lamp makes a tasteful addition. Its antique-nickel finish gives it a timeless appeal that works with both modern and traditional interiors, while its size and scale are ideal for small tables or narrow console surfaces.
We appreciate The Shade Shop & Lighting Gallery’s generosity in partnering with us for this giveaway. Local lighting retailers like them help make beautiful and functional design accessible, offering both pre-made and custom solutions to suit individual tastes. Their combination of curated products and repair services means customers can invest in pieces that last, which is increasingly important in thoughtful home design.
Good luck to everyone who enters. We look forward to reading your “GIMME A LIGHT” comments and the memories you share about your college hometown. If you’re in the Charlottesville area, consider stopping by The Shade Shop & Lighting Gallery to see their selection in person — they’re continually updating their displays with new arrivals and unique finds.
