I have been busy . . .
~ ~ and somewhat in a “mini panic mode” . . .
~ ~ ~ ~ preparing for something exciting to come in a couple of weeks.
Done my fair of shopping these past couple of days. . .
~ ~ and there are some new “wheels” in the media room!
Can you guess what this is???
Getting close? . .
I gathered my Pottery Barn bucks, gift cards, and coupons . .
~ ~ and woo hoo . . I got this Warren Pulley Task Lamp for a little over $30.00
Love those Pottery Barn bucks!
I was trying to decide between this lamp and another . .
~ ~ but hubby really loved this one. . .
~ ~ ~ ~ you know . . you have to throw them a bone every now and then! 🙂
My folk art Uncle Sams . .
Now, if they could only invent a way to make the cords invisible!!!
~ ~ and there are a few more additions happening in this room . .
We took down the fan and replaced it with the Pottery Barn Bolton Lantern
Adding some new pillows in the room like this one made by my friend Linda . .
~ ~ a.k.a., Kristen’s mom.
You are going to see the fabric in 2 other rooms soon! Keeping Linda busy!
So stay tuned for more changes happening around here!!!
Have a wonderful day!

I guess this shows my age and my background: When I saw the first picture of the wheel on the pulley lamp and I read “media room”, my mind went immediately to the old 16mm film projectors. Those darn projectors made my life miserable the first year I taught! Films would break or jump, the lamps would burn out in the middle of the film, etc. I’m so glad your picture turned out to be a cool lamp instead! I love all your additions. Thanks for sharing!

That looks great. Love the lamp,too. That was a great find and adds some real interest rather than “just a lamp”. Can’t wait to see what else you are up to! xo Diana

Love the new lamp.
I have always loved the industrial feel of that lamp…I’m glad you let hubby have that one. I’m waiting for it to go on clearance but I may not get so lucky…lol

Love the lamp. I know what you mean about the dreaded cords, though. I keep wanting to rearrange my living room, but lamps and outlets keep me from doing what I really want to do. Drat!

That is a mighty cool lamp! Looks great in the room! 😉
I love the lamp Shirley. I have to agree with you about the cords. If only there were a clever way to disguise them. Can’t wait to see what else you are doing..your always up to something pleasing on the eyes!
Very nice! And being from WV, I could spot that Fiestaware a mile away. 😉

Love your new “wheels!” That is such a cool lamp, and I “want” your new chandie (I’ve spied that one for a long time)!

Shirley, I love your new wheels! What a perfect lamp for a media room! I also love your lantern; it’s such a classic style. I can tell you have been busy! I can’t wait to see more of your new additions!
Can hardly wait to see what you have been up to. Love the lamp, it looks great in the media room.

I’m glad you quickly showed what that was, because you had ME panicking thinking it was a traction device!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 THAT would not have been good!!! The lamp, however, is GREAT!!! I love that super industrial, yet polished look! The new light fixture is a winner, too!!! I am super jealous about the pillow. I could use a few of those around here! The fabric is really great!
I’ve been fussing and nitpicking in my living room trying to catch up with you. That ain’t happenin’! I’m going to just gracefully accept defeat and keep on steppin’! 🙂

Love your new lamp with wheels Shirley! My hubby likes anything with wheels but especially if he can take it out for a spin 🙂 Your lantern is handsome too!

I haven’t been to Pottery Barn recently so have missed seeing this very cool lamp which looks great in your room. Yes, it’s good to get something every now and then that has the hubby’s stamp of approval. Can’t wait to see where the new fabric shows up.

Love the lamp! Hiding the cords is a problem isn’t it? And there never seems to be an outlet where you need one. Lol My Man is helping me make some lamps for the boys bedroom. We need pulleys for them and can’t find just what we need. I can’t wait to share them on my blog. I love the lantern! It looks great!

This is a very, very cool piece. I just love PB. I noticed your bookcases that are split in half. May be a neat idea with that one t hat we have larger in the new house, what do you think???

I love the lamp! Perfect for your media room. I have looked at the Bolton lantern again and again. Would love to have it in our dining room.
