My wife and I recently finished replacing the interior ceiling on our family room since the previous owners made a mess (the ceiling curved-in instead of being a straight line). Of course, as with everything else, a new room just calls for attention and since we didn't have a coffee table or a lamp, we looked around the web from something contemporary. We came across this Dumont table lamp that compliments our wall colors just right. We'd like to think that when it comes to decorating houses, we are pretty good at it, but we are probably wrong.

Anyway, the Dumont table lamp has a square lamp shade that provides that nice earthy warm glow that we love. It looks contemporary, yet retro. I think it was a nice match.
