Everyone at work knows I’m nuts about everything vintage and retro…so I would bring it to work and put it on my desk next to my 1950s toy robot collection and Marilyn Monroe dress up magnets. Then I can spread that groovy kinda love for the psychedelic vibe with my office mates. Go vintage power!
Amanda says
This is our first year in our 1965 ranch. We are in the process of restoring it to its original glory. This lava lamp would look great in our living room! It’s the 50th birthday of our home so they are meant to be together!
Kathy Neff says
I would put this beauty on the corner table below my orange, hanging, swag, stained glass, planter light.
Karen Stewart says
My cats really enjoyed watching the blobs go up and down until an energetic kitten tried to “catch” one – thus ending the lava lamp. If we win THIS one we’ll secure it better!! Or maybe get a separate one for the cats!! Gotta luv a lava lamp! Thanks.
Carrie says
A lava lamp looks great anywhere – a classic!!!
Peggy says
I have a renovated 1400 s/f house in downtown Orlando that was built in 1951 and this LAVA LAMP would look great on the glass table beside our 50’s Swedish divan!

well I am 65 and never ever had a lava lamp. so its about time and purple is my fav. color. I think it would be relaxing to watch it. I think my 4 cats would love it too.
Eric Haynes says
Amazing memories of my teenage years and watching the lava ebb and flow.
Courtney Barnes says
I had a few lava lamps, growing up. I even had a glitter-filled one! I have one lava lamp currently, but I think this one is tops!
Tucker says
While I would love to have the lamp it’s not for me. I already have one My rescue dog sits on my vintage sofa staring at the one on our custom made side table. I would like another one to put next to her dog bed so she will stay off of the sofa. Then we can take the crinkly plastic off the sofa while the kids are away at school .
