OK, I haven't yet tried eHarmony, but I'm thinking about it...
But first, let me tell you why I'm comparing
the two seemingly unrelated entities.
But even before that, let me ask you if you have
ever found matching things on different trips
to different stores at different times or in different cities?
Has that ever happened to anyone else?
I LOVE it when that happens!
And it has happened to me several times!
Example #1
A nice modern style black ceramic lamp base.
I knew I could pair this with a great drum shade and be good to go.
It was 2 bucks.
Then, earlier this month, I found this one!
Same style, different color. $1.41.
I thought, "Mason might need this for his future house..."
But Mason preferred a traditional style lamp.
Go figure.
I must admit, it didn't dawn on me for a while...
But these two lamps would be PERFECT
for the redo I'm doing in my recently redone bedroom!
Yes, I did it last summer.
Now, I'm reworking it some.
One thing has to happen, though.
Can you guess what that is?
You are SO smart!
White spray paint! I know, brilliant!
So last Saturday, I put out a sheet I bought
at Ross for a good price. My daughter
said it was like sleeping on a paper towel.
That thing never softened up!
And I'm changing the colors anyway.
My plan was to spray a couple of coats of flat white,
then a few coats of gloss white. But...
I really liked the look of the FLAT finish.
And it goes with other things like these little vases.
Let me digress a bit...
I knew you wouldn't mind when you saw why!
I'm doing my bedroom in
MODERN PRIMITIVE styles'
Of course, it's white on white, too,
with some gray and taupe for good measure.
So now, I have two matching bedside table lamps!
I will use my current lamps in the dining room.
Which brings us to...
Example #2:
They are also an eHarmony couple!
One was purchased years ago at Walmart.
The other was purchased last year at a thrift store!
Since you couldn't see the price, I haven't bothered to wipe it off.
I like seeing how much things cost later.
I guess now that I have this post, I can clean it off!
These lamps had traditional shades on them until
last year. Then I bought the white ones you see above
at Walmart for about $10 each.
Since I need new shades for these, I'm going to
make some industrial ones. These will become
a new industrial elegant element in my
dining room, which is visible from the living room!
These lamps could probably star in a
Jane Austen novel, don't you agree?
Which reminds me...
Word for the Day:
Genesis 2:18
The LORD God said,
“It is not good for
the man to be alone.
I will make a helper
suitable for him.”
May the Lord bless your union,
or may he bless your singleness.
May you find a Godly mate if
it is His good and perfect will for you!
