Pineapple has to be one of my favorite fruit. I love the juicy taste, scent and sculptural shape. I associate it with good things and positive experiences.
I had been looking for another lamp and came across this Lyford Cay pineapple lamp. The look of the lamp really appealed to me so I made a mental note to be on the look out for one. 
The very next day (I'm totally serious) I stopped off at a Goodwill that I don't usually frequent. It's a little more run down (and smells) than the other Goodwill stores (although the staff is probably the nicest.) And I usually don't find much there. In the furniture section I saw this pineapple lamp for $5.99. Crazy, right? And the decor is an actual pineapple. (Many times lamps are described as being a pineapple when really they are either an acorn or a pine cone.) This lamp was extremely well made and HEAVY. Aside from the mid nineties finish I thought it was perfect. 
All I did was spray paint it white and top it with a shade I already had. 
It came with a working light bulb. (The jury is still out on the shade though...)
I'm very pleased with my pineapple!
