BREAKING THE RULES...

I found this sweet lamp stand at a Garage sale this summer and just never could decide on the right shade for it...Then I remembered picking up this shade skeleton for another project and sat that on top....of course one thing leads to another....
This little pink hat was just perfect.....
Who says you can't have two lamps on a table?...




The trick is to use PINK lightbulbs....
Gives a dreamy glow to the room....I'm all about the dreamy.






Fun to think outside the box...and break a few rules!
Happy Friday sweeties!

  13. Hi again Kathy,
    I forgot to say, I am originally from Dearborn, Michigan, born and raised. We moved away in 1979. It's a small world. I know where Cadillac is too. All our family still live there and we get back at least once a year.

  19. I love the pink lightbulbs. It does give it such a dreamy look. Loved your post on the vacation too. I grew up in South Florida and learned to surf at Satellite Beach and am married to a Civil War buff...Charleston, Tybee, and Savannah are three of my favorite places to visit.

  20. I love your style ~ your home is dreamy. Cool lamp idea. Our home is more of the eclectic country, but it fits our needs. Not only do we have our state in common, but I'm also a thrift and garage sale junkie. I love taking old and referbishing it - giving it a whole new life. Thanks for visiting my blog.

  21. i have never heard of a hat shade or two lamps
    on a table and LOVE how creative you are.

    i'm glad dave is doing well and will be praying
    about the fine tuning of treatment.

    blessings,
