*There is a clothing store in NW Portland called Lizard Lounge, don’t get them confused. If you are sick of IKEA like I am (although I’m sure I’ll be back, who am I kidding) and want something cool and original for your home, check out Lounge Lizard. I think I might go back to get one this weekend. The selection is overwhelming.Īs for the lamp, I didn’t buy one while I was there, but I have a really good idea what I want now. And they have a third store in Multnomah Village too. One recent development, they opened a second store on Hawthorne, just a block away from the original. I was really smitten with a 6-piece sectional on sale for $300! Hard to find things that cool, for these kind of prices. I’ve always been especially impressed with the prices on their couches, many between $300-500. So everything is clean and in good working condition. They don’t just sell vintage furniture, they refurbish it too. Hundreds!Įverything is super cool, unique and in great condition. And boy, did I find the place! Lounge Lizard! I’ve been going here for years during various searches for furniture but Until now I never realized just how many lamps they have. Nothing at IKWE got me very excited, so I’m beginning to look at some vintage stores around town.

So I’m on a quest to find a couple table top lamps or a hanging lamp. The owner of a vintage shop that burned down earlier this month is suing their neighbor shop, accusing them of neglect that led to the fire that destroyed several businesses. We had one standing lamp for a couple years but it’s a baby hazard so we had to move it to the basement.

Somehow I’ve lived in my home for about 8 years and never put any lights in my living room.
