That, Not This

I saw THIS today at a reception.

{John Saladino glass lamp}
$1,600.00

You can't always get what you want,
but if you try sometimes,
you just might find
 THAT...

{Crate and Barrel Zak Lamp}
$219.00

you get what you need!
and
for $1,381.00 LESS
oh yeah!

Wow...I think I like the C&B lamp more...even if they were the same price!

Diana Mieczan said...

I really love them both...But I would go with the second one too:)
Kisses and have a lovely first day of Autumn:)

Debby said...

Wow, for the price difference I will go for the Crate and Barrel version, pretty darn close too! xo

Susie @ Maddie's Nest said...

Fun comparison....love the lines on the CB one.

Cara said...

Yay! Love it!!

Crate and Barrel has some great pieces for the home at reasonable prices...we bought all our furniture for our apt. there :D

Hamptontoes said...

I definitely like the lines of the second one better despite it being less money. See you tonight!

Jacqueline said...

Zhush...you are so clever.

Elements said...

Great lamp, I have used this style of lamp for a client and we placed some coloured decorator balls inside the base. I love finding designer pieces at everyday prices, the effect will still be the same.

shari @ little blue deer said...

Oh yeah! And honestly, I prefer the C and B one, it has more character! XX!

Erika @ ~TiptoeButterfly~ said...

i'm ALL about the cheaper versions! - if i were to be able to 'afford' the designer labels, maybe i'd go that route - but most likely id' still go the cheaper way!

Clearly....style doesn't have to cost a fortune! xoxo

Stephanie said...

I DO love my Crate and Barrel! Great find, as always!

lisaroyhandbags said...

Great find! And I actually prefer the shade on the Crate & Barrel lamp! :)

Kathy said...

That song won't get out my head now, you come up with some of the greatest stuff!

Krystal said...

THAT would do :)

stylebyrachael said...

Love that! I love the comparisons!

Martha said...

Great find! Love your "That, Not This" finds.

Shannon @ What's Up Whimsy said...

I definitely like the Crate and Barrel one more! And I love how you added some Rolling Stones to the post!

Connie @ SogniESorrisi said...

Great find and great song!

THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE said...

I'd take THAT in a heartbeat! xoxo

Marie a la Mode said...

Ha ha, great job in finding a cheaper substitute! I would never pay almost $2000.00 for a lamp!

My Notting Hill said...

Love that Stones song (I was humming along as I read your post) & the Crate and Barrel lamp.

Kelle Dame said...

Exactly! I can't even believe that first one is almost $2,000!! Spending that much on a lamp would end my fall boot craze for many years to come!

coolkids said...

good find! Love that c&B one!

christine, just bella said...

$1,600 on a lamp, that is just madness!! I like the C&B one better too.

Josie said...

SO contemporary and chic!

Awesome! I love Crate and Barrel! Did you know they also have an outlet store? Cha-ching!

Jenn @ Living Luxe for Less said...

I went to the Saladino showroom last night at the What's New, What's Next event at the New York Design Center and it was gorgeous! Were you there? I have to say this is a great comparison, and definitely living luxe for less! I would be very happy to have this CB lamp in my home. Great find!

Nice!

Marie said...

Oh, how I love Crate and Barrel!:D

Shannon said...

I think I saw "THAT" at Homesense the other day!

Nuit said...

wowza! price difference is amazing. Second one is my fave!

keely @ luxe + lillies said...

I LOVE that crate and barrel lamp, I think its actually so much cuter than the more expensive one! tres chic!

avant garde said...

now that's a deal! i love the look, the super thin cord running down the interior of that lamp. i actually like the shape of the glass better in the cheaper lamp design. really i do! ;)

Amanda said...

I love the Zak lamp. It's so versatile...you can use it in any style room. Plus, the $200 price tag is pretty nice!

Style Maniac said...

great find! can't believe I actually like the less expensive one better -- that almost never happens!

Acanthus and Acorn said...

Great shopping! I think either Arhaus or Ethan Allen might have one too at reasonable prices!

alison (semi-fab lane) said...

i love finding good knock offs. that's so my thing. nice find.

lorenabr said...

like the design:)

Jennifer said...

The less expensive one definitely works for me!! :)

M said...

The Crate & Barrel lamp is better! Thanks, I'm going to order two for my dining room sideboard!
xo

VictoriaArt said...

Right on! Such finds are just brilliant and I actually like the shape even better!

:) Victoria

Averill said...

I really prefer the taper of the C&B version...and why is the other so $$!?!?! Is it made of crystal instead of glass?

charm home said...

I actually like the CB version a lot better. The John Saladino is too bulky in my opinion. I think the CB version looks more feminine. I like that. -c

Design Love said...

Yours is wayyyyyy more gorgeous! Good for you!

Marcus Design said...

LOve this!! Can you imagine paying that much for a lamp?? I love your alternative.

Style Attic said...

I would say you're definitely on the right side of the looking glass! Light bulbs...they are meant to be turned on :) XO, Kelly

SPLENDEROSA said...

Wow. Not a good comparison for Saladino is it?

Martina said...

Not just cheaper, the second one looks better too! Yes, it's worth while to investigate a little - well done!

dovecote Decor said...

Now you're talking our language!
Best,
Liz

Champagne/StitchPoet/CrushParty said...

I like the C&B one BETTER! Save your moola!

Poppies and Sunshine said...

Wow amazing price difference! I prefer the Crate & Barrel one because I think it has more interest with the shape of the glass.

Sketch42 said...

I think I actually like the crate one better! and for 1300 dollars cheaper, its one hell of a deal!

Julie said...

You know what I always think? WHO THE F has that kind of money?!?! I know, I know - someone does, but geezus, just give it a little bit of thought and creativity and things always pop up for less!

Love the lamp.
