Lamps.com Happy Mail

February 18, 2014 By Meegan 13 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’6144′]

 

I was compensated for this post by Lamps.com.   All views and opinions are 100% mine.

A few weeks ago I received some Lamps.com Happy Mail!  I am lucky enough to share that mail with YOU today!!

Don’t you LOVE when the there is a knock at the door and YOU KNOW it’s something special??
About a week earlier I was browsing through Lamps.com   I have been wanting a new lamp in our living room.  BUT, it had to be a quality lamp, and “airy”.  Kind of like a basket, but NOT a basket.
Ordering a lamp through the mail can be stressful.  What if it isn’t packed correctly?  What if it’s broken, or smashed??  That is one thing I stress about when ordering fragile items online.
My heart was set on Dimond – Bronze with Hightlight Lincoln Table Lamp 
Well, my worries weren’t needed AT ALL.  My lamp was packed very carefully.  I first opened the box and spotted the lamp shade.  Don’t you hate it when a lamp shade is cracked?  Especially a new one?
After pulling out the lamp shade, I spotted THE lamp.  THE lamp I was so excited to see and use in our home.
As I inspected the shade,  I discovered I worried for nothing!  The shade was in PERFECT condition. No cracks or tears anywhere.  I was falling in love!
I just love me a drum shade don’t you?  And, this drum shade was a texture I desired in our living room.  Not too heavy, but slightly textured.  Perfection!
And the lamp!!  Oh my goodness the lamp was even more than I anticipated!  It has so much detail, with the black circular motion and the bits of gold.  Not too much, but subtle enough to add some contrast.
A bonus…for as light and textured as this lamp is, it came out of the box in a perfect shape.  There wasn’t one thing out of place.  No crunched sides or indentions.  It had been wrapped and packaged with every intent to get to me whole and in impeccable condition.
Look at the detail, and the craftsmanship.  Just as I saw it on Lamps.com
What an excellent way to light up our living room.  It adds class and defintion to the whole room.  Exactly what I had in mind.
If YOU are looking for a lamp, DO NOT hesitate to order one from Lamps.com.  I highly recommend them, their customer service and the quality of their lamps.  I would definitely order a lamp from them again.  The varity of lamps available is second to none.  There are floor lamps, accent lamps, outdoor lighting, wall lights, ceiling fans and so much more.
Three reasons to order from Lamps.com:
* You shouldn’t have to pay to have your items delivered. We’ll cover the ground shipping cost of your items, regardless of cost. Whether it’s $10 or $10,000, your item ships for free!
* Here at Lamps.com we want to make shopping for lighting as easy as possible. One way we do this is by saving you a trip to the hardware store for bulbs. When you order a fixture from us, we will send light bulbs that work with the fixture you ordered!
*Lamps.com strives to ensure that you are 100% satisfied with your purchase. Qualifying purchases can be returned up to 30 days from the date your order is delivered. The return process is quick and easy, however prior authorization is required to properly process a return. To begin the return process, please email returns@lamps.com or call us at 888-602-7011.
Thanks to Lamps.com my living room is complete, not only with light, but with style as well.

Monday Blues-Lighting the Way

February 10, 2014 By Meegan 4 Comments

Happy Monday!!  I am finally out of bed and rid of the yucky flu that’s hitting everyone!!  Yay!!  Now I have the Monday Blues-Lighting The Way. Well, not exactly.  But you will see what I mean. This ending up being a really fun post for me to photograph and share with you.

Mirrors

I have been looking for months for some lights to drape over my mirror.  I found some at Big Lots.  They are patio lights.  I was so excited to get them home and light the way, per say.

But, to my surprise, they were not white bulbs at all, but colored.  Hmmm…I was disappointed.  I REALLY wanted white.  Well, the blue fit my color scheme, so that’s okay, I guess.

Whoa!  They were ever so slowly changing colors.  Hmmm…I might like these, but I still wasn’t sure.

Mirrors

But watching them change colors was kinda cool.  They were surprising me every few seconds.

From whites, to bues, to pinks, lavender, green and varied colors all at once.  I was falling in love with my new lights.

They are now one of the favorite spots in my home!  Who would have thought, right?  I went in the store looking for white lights and came home with something I like even more.

My Monday Blues-Lighting the Way.  Aren’t they fun, and inviting?  I light them up everytime I know visitors are coming.  It’s a nice ambiance for the whole room.  Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact, don’t you think?

Are YOU going to look for some lights to light the way in your home?  I would LOVE to see them!

Thrifted Coffee Table Makeover

January 29, 2014 By Meegan 16 Comments

Happy Wednesday to all of you!!  Are you freezing where you are???  Luckily for me, I am warm and cozy.  AND, I have been busy with painting our room, craft cupboard and now a thrifted coffee table makeover.

We had company over the weekend, and I was able to back and just look at our home.  I saw all of the work I have done of the past 3 1/2 years.  I can honestly say, I am liking the look.

To see more of my living room, check out Jeanette’s blog Country Design Style.  I was a guest on her blog yesterday, and gave a full tour of our living room.  (Thanks Jeanette!!)

Looking mighty fine!!

Before and After Table

Here is a quick picture of before and after.

Last week I went to REstore and found a flat antique white paint (super cheap, I might add!).  It was the exact white I was looking for to paint my thrifted table.  Definitely time for a makeover.

Using a dry brush and the flat antique white paint, I got to work.  I painted over the majority of the table.  Then with sand paper, I started on the next step.

I sanded in various areas on the table.  Then I got a hammer and dented the top of the table.  I know!!  It was really fun to use the back end of my hammer and hit the table top.  Plus, it gives the worn look I want.

The sanding is always fun, too.  I like to see the various colors that come through around the corners and edges.

So here My Thrifted Coffee Table Makeover is in all it’s glory.  Easy peasy and it only took about 2 hours to complete.

Not too bad, right??

Do you have a piece of furniture that you need and/or want to paint?  I would love to hear all about it!!

Thanks for joining me today.  I appreciate and read EVERY comment.

Make it a wonderful Wednesday.

Choosing Colors for a Master Bedroom

January 21, 2014 By Meegan 3 Comments

Happy Tuesday! I have been choosing colors for a Master Bedroom and it isn’t as easy as it looks. Especially since I am trying to bring a welcoming feeling into our home. As you know, I like whites, blues, and greens with gray and pinkish/coral mixed in a few places.
