Light it up

June 1st, 2009


I found this 70’s brass ball light at a junkyard by my house for $7. I’ve tried cleaning it up, but it had been sitting outside for awhile and suffered a bit of wear and tear to the brassy finish. it works great though.

Its sort of floated around the house not really feeling “right” anywhere and I didn’t really think of putting it in the master bedroom since it wasn’t part of a pair. I slammed it on the nightstand since I desperately needed a reading light and ended up really liking it with the crazy glam chandelier. A pair may be overkill though and I’m not sure if I need another bedside light…

I do need a headboard. I’m thinking a long and lean finished plywood panel…hmmmm.

So the other thought is having a totally different type of light. Is it really fussy to have two totally different lights next to a bed? I was thinking of doing some sort of wall mounted black Bauhaus style industrial light on the other side.


Like this.

Or this

But you know “inspired” by. There is no way I’m buying a lamp for like thousands of dollars. I’m looking for something in the price range of 10’s of dollars.

Ebay

May 31st, 2009

I got my candle holder from Ebay!

Its so BIG. Now I just need some actual candles.

It must have come from a smokers house. When I opened the box it smelled like a dead Las Vegas cocktail waitress’s mouth. There was just this wave of stale cigarette stench. It has totally taken a few days for the candle holder to off-gas. GROSS.

The perils of Ebay I guess…

I swear!

I’m still in second place.
This is the last time I will ask for you to vote for this.
Voting ends this Sunday, May 31.

I put cute babies in my entry pics to compete with Tim’s bathroom.

Please don’t let this win – because it totally is right now. Yuck.

Seriously.

VOTE VOTE VOTE

Thank you everyone. This is the first contest I’ve ever entered and I can’t believe I’m even close to winning. I’m really psyched that people would help out. Many thanks again and have a outrageously fabulous weekend.
