RMN 5- Decorating Commitment Issues

My daughter remarked a couple of weeks ago,

that I had a case of "Decorating Commitment Issues!"

ha!

 It was said in jest, of course ...sort of!

So I like to change things up and around a bit, always have.

But coming home from college on the weekends, she tends to notice things a little more.

Items moved, replaced, repainted ....

To Refresh My Nest, I wanted to replace the lamp shade on the foyer table.

I like the lamp, but the shade catches a lot of harsh sunlight, and had faded.

While on my search for a lampshade,

the lamp below caught my eye, at Marshalls.

100% Lead Crystal,

she is a shining beauty in the sunlight.

{Heavy as all get-out, but weight is not an issue in this case! ha!}

And in comparison to others I viewed online, I got it for a song!

The space was also simplified {i.e. decluttered}, by removing the cherub below, and having only one other

accent on the table along with the lamp.

The bird prints were a gift from my dad several years ago, whom I inherited my love of junkin' from.

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

My home is almost ready for the ladies' get-together next week.

My Refreshing My Nest Series will be coming to a close.

But, stay tuned for the Give-away, which I'll try to post Sunday.

Just a sneak peak....
