and finally! the lamp to end all lamp searches! i'm so happy to be done with that search. this lamp is robert abbey "harriet" and was $180. yes, this is a lot of money, but for the size of this lamp, a good price. trust me, because i have looked at EVERY LAMP ON THE PLANET!!! even the target lamps of comparable size were $220+. at any rate, no more house purchases for me for a long time, now! and by the way (tina u.) this lamp is one that i saw about a year ago and loved...after looking at Every Lamp O. T. P., i wound up back with this one. crazy, huh? but according to this mathematic principle that tina told me about, apparently it is not crazy. something about the chances of the perfect choice being amongst the first several you look at, yadda yadda, im way too tired to try to get that one right!

nearly perfect! still some things i need to change (cheap curtain rod is barely hanging on to wall, for example, and mattress is only 3 years old and sags terribly) BUT i'm getting somewhere with this room!!! hooray!
after visiting my in-laws vacation home and just loving the fact that they painted their ceilings the same color as the walls, i've decided that i need to paint the ceiling in this room! but rather than continuing with the gold, i think i want to do a pale blue. wouldn't that be smashing, dahling? speaking of their vacation home, i might do an entry on that next. it was totally beautiful! i took pictures, of course...wonder if they would mind me posting them? for both of my readers to enjoy?
love and love,
kelly
