The Sears chandelier is interesting & I think the burner assembly is probably a good candidate for my shade although in a different usage, possibly as a combo shade & chimney. I wonder what that particular type of burner was called? I can't imagine mine used as a chimney with an outer shade covering the bottom half of it - if for no other reason than it would obscure too much light. And it's fairly large around the bottom, not to mention that it was probably an expensive piece. Frankly, I never considered it a chimney at all but the shape & height IS more akin to a chimney than a shade or globe. Instead of answers, now I have more questions!!!!!

I'm thinking that the wedgies won't work right because I have an ext. table that fits around my machine. And my machine is as close to the edge as possible with the ext. table. MaryLiz, I think I get those Trapezius headaches too. Most of my headaches are tension related & there was certainly some quilt tension going on last night! wish I had a built in tension regulator like my machine. :) Where do you get the exercise disks? Is it like a donut? I'll have to try some type of chair adjustment. Right now I'm using a folding chair because...that's what I have. Might need to get a cushy rolly chair eventually. My eyesight has been changing...not good with reading...so probably need to FINALLY get some reading glasses. 8) Taking a break is also a good idea. I tend to push thru until I'm done. I did take a few breaks & visited this forum to post my questions as I was going on...LOL! But most of ya'll go to bed before me since I'm on Pacific time. My other problem is lighting. The extra light I have is a halogen desk lamp. It's great, but I don't want to turn it on while I'm working on this big bulky project for fear of setting it a flame! Have no where safe to put it at the moment. I could probably get DH to build a little lamp shelf when I finally get settled.

OMG - what a goofball I am. I have been working so many hours and am so short on sleep - sorry I didn't include the link for the lamp. It would center over the bed, so the art would move. It is a bit on the modern side, but I think might be very cool in your space: giclee retro lamp You can see that they have the shade for sale alone, as well as other styles of the lamp with the shade at the bottom of the page. I like how it picks up your colors, including the taupe/beige squares that echo your bedding and window treatments. Do look at their selection of lamps. Many have free shipping, and they have tons of plug-in wall lamps that don't have to be hardwired to work. Seeing your floor plan, I would be inclined to flip the bed to the opposite wall, and let the dresser be on the wall by the closets. Seems like you could put the dresser a bit to the left on that wall, and still fit in a nice chair in the corner near the window. Thanks for moving the pillow! LOL

Thanks Magnaverde. I am not published because it doesn't comform to the editorial content of the magazines that are published right now. I think it may be close to what Met Home and Domino published but they no longer exist. Photos of the apartment made it partway through the editorial process for three national design magazines. #1 design editor said "If it was up to me...but the furnishings lean too strongly toward MCM to get the nod from the chief" #2 said "spectacular renovation, but not in the direction of planned editorial content, ...have you considered [#3]" #3 said approximately what #2 said. All of them seemed to think it should get published somewhere, just not by them. #2 and #3 have published things that are similar in spirit, but mostly by people who are well known and published already...the unknowns' work tends to be a bit more polished or something. So basically, either I don't know someone, or they don't know me. My favorite response was from the local design magazine: " ". Once they saw the pictures they said nothing. They tend to publish neo tuscan suburban behemoths or 1990ish Beetlejuice cutesy. They once lavished praise on the homeowner/"collectors" whose "collection" was every piece of white pottery Jonathan Adler had made in the previous two years. It too no more effort than a single shopping trip, but it did require a large credit card bill which the local mag seems to approve of. But I'm not bitter or anything ;-) I am on the market now, and most lookers seem to really like it, but the feedback of one potential buyer was "I don't get it." I like that though, if everybody got it, I don't think that would be a good thing.
