The Quest for Lighting {Ugly Duckling Dining Room}
July 18, 2012 by · 14 Comments
Did you realize there is no ceiling light fixture in my ugly duckling dining room? Several years ago, I had an electrician look at this problem and we discovered there is no wiring in the ceiling of this room.

I originally intended to buy a simple drum shade and cover it with a fabric with flair.Then I happened to be in Home Goods {goody, goody!!} with my mom … [Read more...]

UPS arrived today with something I've been waiting for since the post-Christmas sales...My mercury glass candle holders are in the building! I know mercury glass has been around for a few years in decor, but I love the reflective quality it has without being too sleek. Sleek is not me. … [Read more...]
