hi, thanks I just found some more rock yesterday at $ store I am in kind of a slump and have a 1,000 other thing to do but this might get me moving a little thanks , had an idea once to take pcs of tree bark and maybe dried acorns or twigs, but mainly just polished pcs of tree bark and put them on a lamp , would be similar to this , the first idea was to do a planter in tre bark , then wife said maybe a hanging lamp. because we allready had ivy on all the lamp chains . thank you Rick

When I first bought those lamps I thought it would look good to follow the shape of the posts and didnt look too bad without anything above the bed, but now with the iron topper, I agree they need to be a different shape and more weighty. lovesummer, sorry I missed your question about where I got the topper. I found it at HomeSense. Oopsie. I like your first lamp you posted, the idea of the black base never occurred to me, and yes the shade needs to be more of a creamy or gold color. Thanks for the idea.

Would love to see some photos of your house.

I just packed up this week past and the kitchen was demolished on Tuesday. I can't believe how much stuff I have! No wonder I think I need more storage and have ordered uppers that go all the way to the ceiling! I tried to exercise some discipline and throw out all the old things I rarely use anymore. I wasn't very successful... let's say it was like removing sand from the desert with a teaspoon. I guess I'm just attached to my old favs, like special friends. Plus, my mom passed away last year and I ended up with most of her stuff - as the only girl child, my brothers simply delegated all that kitcheny/household stuff to my best judgement. How could I possibly get rid of the green glass citrus squeezer??? or Grandma's best china?? Or Auntie's hand painted china, etched aluminum trays or the ancestral beer glasses?? For the record, I did throw away all the sippy cups and souvenir kiddy dishes (the baby starts HS next week), and at least 2 dozen coffee mugs are packed to donate to the local thrift (I'm sure those breed in closed cupboards) but I still have at least 3 dozen I can't part with. Hey, who wants to come to my place for coffee? Or tea? I counted 6 teapots, keepers all. I do think I'll replace all, or at least most of my kitchen towels. They have all seen better days, even if they rarely see the light of day anymore. We are currently settling into our "temporary kitchen" in the wet bar area of our basement rec room. This classic piece of 1960s design and construction leaves much to be desired functionally, but at least it boasts running water and a usable refigerator. Ironically, in the 13+ yrs we've lived in this house, we have seldom ventured into this cubby-hole, except to access the beer fridge. Now, I can hardly wait until the kitchen is completed so I can start planning its renovation...
