That's what's on my mind right now. Well- lighting in general is on my mind at the moment, to degree that last night I dreamt that I was searching high and low for crystals to make a crystal chandelier. When I finally found some at a local consignment store the lady in my dream wanted $400 per crystal, and I was certain that wasn't a fair price for them, so I left in a huff. Yes- my dreams are that dorky.
Anyway. My upstairs is in need of some lighting. I have a pretty nice pair of lamps from TJMaxx that live on the nightstands in our master bedroom, and all the overhead light fixtures are now installed. I need to fill in the following spaces now:
1. Small reading lamp for next to the settee in the reading nook in the master bedroom
2. Bedside lamps for the guest room
3. A task lamp or desk lamp for my newly installed desk (wait till you see this desk- I'm going to post about it soon I promise. You're gonna love it...I hope)
Project #2 is that I want to put in some curtains in the upstairs, and in the dining room and family room downstairs. I want something simple, natural, and unfussy feeling, and I'm really really leaning towards unbleached muslin. An added bonus- it's very affordable per yard.
So here are some pictures of lamps I'm adoring, and muslin curtains. Now I'll need some curtain rods...

| Love both the antique work table and the wonderful task lamp. You can find both here. |
 |
| I've loved these architectural salvage style lamps for a while now. |
 |
| Beautiful with a delicate chippy gray paint surface. This lamp is a star. |
 |
| Adore this one with the wire mesh shade. |
 |
| Green being my favorite color, I find this lamp basically irresistible. |
 |
| These curtains are almost precisely what I have in mind. Simple and lovely. |
 |
| A wonderful room made all the more dreamy with some wonderful muslin curtains around the antique bed. |
 |
| I love how much muslin curtains let the light in. It makes the windows almost glow during the daytime. |
