After the Christmas decorations came downwardly in addition to I lived amongst few accessories out for a few weeks, I'm tardily adding things dorsum in.

When I idea almost how I wanted to position the mantle dorsum together, I felt similar I needed to switch out the lamps that I've had on at that topographic point forever.  I wanted something taller, in addition to knew that a tall sparse buffet light was likely what I needed.  So, I spent most of a forenoon this calendar week stopping into 3-4 stores looking for a novel pair.  I came upward empty handed.

Then, I remembered that I had approximately lamps that bring been out of my rotation for a piece in addition to I shopped the house!  I brought the striped shade lamps inward to try, in addition to they worked!

I mightiness withal boot the bucket on an oculus out for something different, simply these are working for now.  Also, later having the gigantic silver tray wreath upward for Christmas, my peacock mirror seems a piffling small.  I mightiness consider something bigger if I come upward across a swell deal, simply I don't know that I could give this ane up!

I bought the impress during the Black Fri sale, along amongst the "Hey Y'all".  Of course, I had to bring a splash of greenish on the mantle in addition to thus I sprayed the frame amongst Rustoleum's Meadow Green.  And isn't that daughter rocking the Amelia necklace from Wrist Soiree?  One of my favorite Christmas gifts!
