The lamps for my ORC finally came in....after almost 6 weeks. I don't know about you but I am impatient and hate waiting for stuff.....tick....tock.
I changed out the shades to add texture. I think these from Pottery Barn are a pretty good deal and they come in small, medium and large.
After I picked up the lamps I went all over town looking for some little glass finials. Yes....you read that right....ALL OVER TOWN.
Seriously. The place I got them last time had more than I could want in a lifetime. Today....nada.
Here are some of the things I saw along the way.
I started at Ballard's [the outlet store]to pick up the lamps....
I saw this and posted on Instagram. Some black and white goodness....and 30% off all furniture today. I know someone who might have gone back to get it :)
I also saw 2 of these....Oh mommie...where is my bottle....
Then I went to a flea market near me that USUALLY has the finials. Saw this little number....
Along with this brass planter. How dang good does this look with the geranium in it....note to self....I have one of these somewhere.More brass. Looks like I have completely forgotten about my task at hand.
Good Lord. What finials? Where am I.
Doesn't everything look better on a stand...or on plexiglass? Yes.
Without even trying...I am feeling a theme here....black stuff accented with brass....
Oh...this is fine. And looks good in our imaginary room.
Whoops....straying. But how much do you love this blue. A lot...I thought so.
Of course that makes the day just a little longer. It is nearly impossible to just go in and out. I have tried. Can not be done.
Anyway....the lamps are in...
But those ridiculous little gold balls on the top can just TAKE A HIKE!
So...that was my day....At times I feel as though I am running on a little hamster treadmill just going in circles.
Remember my post on Rodolfo Castro the architect? Well so excited to be meeting him [with the clients] on Friday to see what magic he has for their addition!
I am not ashamed to admit to a little jealousy that it's not for my house......sigh.
Last chance for the giveaway....winner on Friday!
