Hypnotic arrangement of lights. Makes me feel like a small light-driven insect

The Lamp Shop (Misty) did a fantastic job with my two lamps, one an antique, marble-bottomed lamp with mogul bulbs, which I had had repaired previously and which stopped working almost immediately. And the other an artisan lamp I’ve had almost 40 years, but which had given a friend a shock. Anyway, the lamps work now; they have new, non-frayed cords, and plastic parts on the newer lamp were replaced. And they both work beautifully! I’m so impressed by thorough and meticulous job Misty did. I am very grateful and extremely happy.
Thanks Louise! Misty is the best! Thanks again for your kind words. So glad we could help!

I love this store and the employees. They rewired an old hanging light inherited from our family and took the time to help me find a light bulb that complimented the piece and provided enough light for the space it would rest in. I have another lamp needing repair and will be back.

Love this place. Was here 4 years ago and got the perfect chandelier for our B&B's parlor. They were so helpful that we returned when we traveled to Burlington again and found another great chandelier for an upcoming remodel of our bathroom. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
Thanks Amy! So glad you traveled back to Burlington so we could help you find the right light for your bathroom. Enjoy it and send some pictures along!
