I don't know what it is about this time of year, but I just can't help myself. I want to do some rearranging and redecorating every spring. Oh, I don't mean a complete overall revamping. Just little things, like moving a lamp from here to there. Creating an arrangement of a few things to make a "new" look. I like to shop around the house and move things to make everything a little different.
One thing I am really starting to like is lamps. Everywhere. I have them in the living room, kitchen, my office, the bedroom. I'm looking for one right now to put in the bathroom that we are redoing in the beach theme. This one is really cute, but price wise? It ain't a gonna happen. $129.95. For a little lamp! Nope, not in this girls budget.
I'd like to find something like this one that I have in my kitchen, only with blue beach color to it. Then I could just get a shade that has a beach theme. I got this lamp years ago at Walmart for $7.00. At some point, it has been used in just about every room. But it is staying in the kitchen now.
My sister was looking at a blog the other day that had a lamp in the kitchen and a light bulb went off in her head. She had that same lamp somewhere upstairs and never used it. She had forgotten all about having it. So she got it out and placed it in the kitchen and she is loving it again.
It's funny how something we have forever is just "that old thing" to us and it gets relegated to storage. Then one day, thanks to blog world, we get inspired and everything old is new again. I love the look of her old lamp in her kitchen now.
