2 Wall Lamps with 1 Crystal Lamp on big table only OR Raise Lamp Shade Up by changing the HARP? Textured White Plug-in Swing Arm Wall Lamp Base that has a 150 watt 3-way switch may be nice for around my bed and then I can put my crystal lamp in the far corner near the windows on my junior chest like Les suggested. My only fear is they will be heavy and fall off the wall and not give me a peaceful sleep worrying since I have had shelves fall off the wall that my two friends helped me install. My other option I have decided is I can raise the lamp shade by changing the Harp since the Kara crystal ball lamp on my iron table has just about none of the silver stem showing that leads up to the light bulb while the other lamps in my room have 1 inch showing. My current harp (where the shade is put on before the finial is attached on top of the shade)is 8". I can buy a 9" or a 10" harp and then there will be less difference in height between the two lamps since there is only 2.75" inches difference between them. I like them the way they are now since I actually like having two style lamps I am finding out that have the same crystal, chrome & white shade theme going on but different looks otherwise. But I know I would like the look better if the lamp shades were similar heights. I love the light they provide in my bedroom (I have no overhead lighting and I do laundry at night and fold my clothes on my bed) and since the Kara's base is only 5.5", I have enough room on my little table for my tiny alarm clock, box of tissues and my water. The space below houses my white telephone and I am comfortable this way. What is everyone's vote? Should I order online and hope I like the swing arm wall lamps (never had one before) and do not have to return the pretty Textured White Plus-In Swing Arm Wall Lamps if they come damaged or I do not like them for some reason OR should I keep what I have and raise one of the lamps shades a little bit OR keep what I have and leave the height difference? After watching the HGTV Sweepstakes Home Tour tonight, I like the look of my serene Master Bedroom much better and I am happy how it is slowly evolving. I lived with vibrant colors for too long and this is my year for peace and serenity. I will leave some bright color accents for my downstairs rooms. For instance I have bright cherry red pots and a teapot that I love for my kitchen. Thank you everyone. I was going to put this as a new post for voting but I decided not to. If anyone thinks I should, please let me know. Remember I am choosing Picture#14 with the Madie on the left Junior Chest and the Kara on the right Iron table. If Squirrel has any time or someone with paint shop skills to add the wall lamps beside my bed to see if I would like the look since I love the crystal look beside my bed but the idea came to me again today when my friend told me he would install them if I really wanted them when before he told me NO. I would then just keep one of the two Crystal lamps to put to the far left on the junior chest to add light to my bedroom.

I can't believe he is one year old already! When Alyssa had her first birthday party she was very careful with her smash cake. She still is that way, tries never to get messy. I know you all really love and enjoy him. Wonderful times. Sue

Hi Danielle and Jason, When I saw Annie's attractive pics ... ... I thought that perhaps I'd made a mistake, when I visited. I should have asked to have paid a visit to your sleeping young ones ... to have more or less met them (even though it'd have been a one-way street, they being unaware). Would they have felt more or less betrayed ... ... to have been visited, in the privacy of their bedroom, with them unaware, defenceless ... by some ... stranger? But they could trust that, with Mom and Dad there ... they were safe. In at least 99 out of 100 instances, I think, even if Mom and Dad weren't there ... they'd still be safe. It seems to me that most folks are decent, trustworthy ... ... it's the others that we hear so much about. Put a small dot with a pencil in the middle of a sheet of typewriter(?) paper ... ... ask someone what s/he sees - s/he'll say, "A dot". Not mentioning all of the wide expanse of paper that carries no mark. I hope that you have a lovely, late summer weekend in that lovely province: though I spent only 7 years there ... it took hold of my heart. ole joyful

Lovely. You have chosen well and I love the fact that you are willing to take your time to get things right. It's amazing to me how many people expect things to be perfect right away, all at once. That rarely, if ever, works, and takes the fun out of the process. Many of them could learn from your example.
