~~~New Lamps in the Guest Room!!!~~~

Good afternoon my sweet friends! We were on vacation last week at the Outer Banks (OBX) and it was a great week EXCEPT that Joe was sick:( He didn't feel well when we left so I drove. I have discovered that I do NOT enjoy driving for 7 hours straight:) We left on Sat. and he kept getting sicker. So, On Monday we went to an urgent care clinic and LONG story short he has pneumonia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His temp when we got there was 103.9! So he is on a VERY strong antibiotic and prescription Motrin and he NOW feels much better but it took a few days. I felt so bad for him to be sick on vacation. Anyway, today I met my daughter and we did some shopping and had lunch together and I found some new SUMMER lamps for the guest room! So here we go, I am showing you a before and after and a little look around the room too. Here is the before: I do like these lamps but wanted to lighten up a bit for Summer!  And, since I have some shell pictures in here I thought these would work. I am sorry the light isn't good, it has been RAINING for days:(

 The night stands are on the small side so I need to use smaller lamps in here.

 I just LOVE the raised shells on these lamps. I found them at Kirklands and Tracy had a coupon so I got them very inexpensively!

 I am still looking for a different bedding set. I want to use a blue and white print but right now this beige and white works fine. The pillows are blue and white too.

 I made these several years ago. I think they work well on the wall over the bed. The pineapple is the symbol of hospitality; did you know that?

 I have 2 shell pictures on either side of the windows.

 They were also Kirklands finds a few months ago.

 This is the vignette on the dresser.  IF I can convince Joe, I plan to do my first ever painting of a piece of furniture!!! We got this for free when friends were moving  and it is kinda rough.....

 I am pulling out my shells now so will put some around and in the little glass dish.

 This piece is on a long wall. Eventually we plan to get new bedroom furniture for our room and ours will come up here. My dresser would fit perfectly on this wall and Joe's on the wall where the free dresser is now.

 I have 2 pottery "pockets" in this room.

 I also got navy blue panels for the window to finish it.

 I put some funky branches in one of my demijohns. The large basket is for the throw pillows at night.

 I am still working on the vignette on the nightstands. I placed the lamps on book stacks.

 Thanks for your visit. I missed you all while we were on vacation. XO, Pinky

THURSDAY’S INSPIRATION

LOTS Of Lamp Love!!!~~~

 Well, I am VERY late to the Party, but Alison is having a lamp loing post at The Polohouse so I thought I would join in. I am showing you some of the lamps we have around here. This first lamp is new, purchased for the new house. It sits here, on this small console off the foyer.

 This one is presently here in my office.

This is the guest bath on the main floor. I love lamps in the bathroom.
Here is the console in the foyer hallway. I found this lamp several years ago at the beach of all places! It was love at first sight.

 I have 2 of these. They are from India and were my in-laws. I have one on each side of the fireplace.

My elephant lamps are also from India. They were handed down, also from my in-laws and some of the tusks on the elephants have seen better days but I don't care. They ahve traveled from India to Pa., to Florida, and back to Pa.

This floor lamp was a gift from our son. The carved brass on the top and base is beautiful! The column is mahagony. It is in the sitting room of our master bedroom.

 These are our nightstand lamps.

detail of the base...
 This one sits on Joe's dresser.

 Upstairs we have the bonus room, a guest bedroom and guest bath. These are in the guest bath. This tiny lamp and....

 the nightlight!

 In the guest bedroom I recently found this pretty RL lamp at Home Goods, of course!!!!!!!

 On the nightstands in here I have these 2 lamps for now.

 Now we are in the bonus room. 2 palm lamps are on the end tables.

 This elephant lamp is one of my favorites too.

And finally, this is a monkey lamp. See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. Sorry the lighting just wouldn't allow mw to get a great detail picture.Hope you all are having a great week. I do believe that Spring may FINALLY get here this weekend. I am hoping!!!! XO, Pinky
