Meet the Lamp Lady
A little boldness.
A lot of personality.
I'm Kathleen Lemmon—the eye, bargain hunter, and lifelong lover of color behind Lamp Lady of Utah.
From bright beginnings
Vegas color,
Utah refinement.
I grew up in Las Vegas, surrounded by brightness, creativity, different cultures, and a real vivaciousness for life. Moving to Utah for school was a change of pace. More than a decade later, it's where my family and I have chosen to make our home.
Over time, those two places shaped my point of view together. I still love the boldness and color I grew up with, but I've learned to use them in ways that feel thoughtful, complementary, and a little more refined. I don't believe personality has to shout to be noticed.
For me, the most interesting rooms hold both: a sense of energy and a sense of ease. A vivid color can be the personality in the room, while the right shape, material, and placement keep it feeling intentional. That balance is at the heart of what I look for now.
Where lighting entered the picture
I started noticing what everyone else overlooks.
My interest in lighting began as vintage-inspired details started finding their way back into interiors. I loved the lamps and fixtures that carried the feeling of another era—but I was equally drawn to the unexpected silhouettes in modern lighting.
I've always loved sculpture, architecture, and design, and lighting sits at the intersection of all three. It can be a functional object, a sculptural accent, a quiet source of ambiance, or the statement that defines an entire room. Once I began looking at fixtures that way, I saw opportunities for them everywhere.
Lighting also felt surprisingly overlooked. People might spend months choosing furniture, paint, and textiles, then settle for the fixture that happened to be there. I became fascinated by what could happen when the light was treated as part of the story instead of an afterthought.
How I see a fixture
Every shape says
something.
I studied languages and cultures at university, learning to look closely at how color, texture, shape, history, and philosophy influence the things people create. I loved understanding the cultural context behind why a style emerged and what it communicated. I bring that same curiosity to lighting.
Romantic & storied
Curves, texture, and Baroque or Rococo influence bring softness, history, and a touch of beautiful excess. I think of that look less as a trend and more as romanticism.
Color, thoughtfully placed
A well-chosen color can add energy, create calm, or become the note that brings an entire room together. The point is never color for color's sake—it's what the room needs to feel alive.
A home that feels like you
Style should be discovered,
not prescribed.
Decorating my own home made this idea feel personal. I began looking for pieces that could shift the feeling of a room without requiring a complete redesign: a fixture with a little more warmth, an unusual silhouette, a color that could echo something already in the space.
I loved passing good finds along to friends and family, and I kept seeing the same hesitation: people wanted something distinctive, but they weren't always willing—or able—to gamble a large amount of money on it. A better price makes it easier to experiment. It gives you permission to try the romantic fixture, the bold color, or the sculptural shape and learn what feels like you.
Why Lamp Lady exists
Distinctive shouldn't have to mean out of reach.
I've always loved thrifting and the thrill of finding a genuinely good deal. It makes experimenting with your home feel less risky—and makes it easier to discover what your own style actually is.
Lamp Lady grew from the idea that I could do that searching for other people: finding eclectic, modern, and vintage-inspired fixtures, then helping them reach someone who will love them. I source pieces with character, useful beauty, and the potential to become the finishing touch in someone's home.
There is also something satisfying about helping a good fixture already in the world find the right next home. It's more affordable, more personal, and a little more sustainable than always starting new. Instead of following one narrow aesthetic, I want the collection to make room for different personalities—and for the homes those personalities create.
“I want you to find the piece that makes you think: yes—this elevates the room, and it feels like me.”
