My big yellow lamp from ebay arrived. And it is BIG.

It needs a little more work than inferred on the ebay listing, which is annoying and seems to keep happening to me. The last three things I’ve gotten have arrived filthy, not well packed and way more damaged than described. Makes me want to stop shopping ebay.

For $9.99 and $25.81 shipping its not too bad and makes a BIG statement. Although it probably does need another $10 in new wiring and bits.

I didn’t really think too far ahead about where this big bad boy would actually go.

Hmmmm. My design plan with the house so far seems to be:

-Buy crap I like.
-Figure it out later.

Which would probably horrify any real interior designer.

I really dig this lamp and imagine it will end up swagged on the covered patio over the “dining table” that is planned but not actually constructed. Yup, this patio which still looks just like that pic taken in June. Ugh.
