At $6 for the pair I wasn't about to pass on them... I mean they're cottage blue with peachy pink roses! Does it get any better than that? I think not!
I've had them since April and figured it was high time I put them to use. I originally intended for them to be part of our bedroom makeover, but since that has yet to happen I thought I'd find another place for them in the meantime...
So here they are, with their little white Target lampshades, making their home on top of the pie safe in the living room.
They brighten up this little corner on cloudy (snowy!) days, like today....
...and give a nice soft glow to that corner of the room at night (I'm using oversized 40 watt candleabra bulbs in them)...
Of course when one does a little "tweaking" to one area, it leads to a lot of tweaking in other areas... For example, I had to find a new place for the lamp that was previously on top of the pie safe...
... and for the the pink polka dotted pumpkin which has now been replaced by the 'button' vase of roses (although the jury's still out on that one...)

Of course tweaking and rearranging is always fun, isn't it? So in my next post I'll show you what else got moved around!
