Desire/Acquire: Wooden Tripod Floor Lamp
The Ralph Lauren Architect Floor Lamp ($600) is a chic, classic, and polished design that's ideal for the traditional homes of those cable-knit-sweater-wearing women. I find it très élégant with its rich red mahogany, and I love how it references the three-legged design of a surveyor's tripod. And, while I'm sure it's a very sturdy and high quality, I couldn't bring myself to spend 600 smackers on a floor lamp that's not a statement piece (this guy's more of a filler).
Steal of the Day: Gump's Tripod Pharmacy Lamp
For those of you who loved the tripod base lamps in my Good, Better, Best, do I have a deal for you. While not identical in style to the tripod lamps I featured, I find this one actually preferable in several ways. The Gump's Tripod Pharmacy Lamp (on sale for $169.99, originally $455) has an antiqued-nickel finish that makes it seem like a great flea market find, and its shape, which is modeled after early 20th-century pharmacy fixtures, only enhances that impression.

If you're willing to make the purchases on your own and put your new furnishings in place, with just a few emails and phone calls, you can essentially get the look of a full-service redesign. I was intrigued by the concept and decided to check out Martin's work, and stumbled upon quite a few drastic makeovers.
