Shine light on your home workspace

One of these weekends, I keep promising myself, I will get to the one DIY project that is just for me: creating office space out of an unused corner of our bedroom. Since my oldest teen moved into what was my office/guest room, I have been a nomadic blogger/editor, moving from the office that holds the family desktop PC to the kitchen table to the dining room table and often, yes, to the couch.

I can picture my new office space -- I just can't seem to get the time to turn the vision into reality. But when I do, I want there to be plenty of light, and I want it to shine from a lamp I love. So I am on the hunt. I've scouted a few desk lamps on the web, though I will definitely keep looking for some better-priced lamps. Have you found any great lamp deals lately?

Lamps Plus Neat Pleat Swing Arm Desk Lamp ($129.99)

I like the shape of the shade and the horizontal pleating on this lamp, and the fact that it takes a 3-way bulb to go the extra-bright mile for my tired eyes. It's from Lamps Plus via Amazon.
