his and hers

I'm not sure when my love affair with lamps started. I think it was really a long time ago when I was a teenager. My bedroom had a small 'nook' for a desk and a little 'club' chair. My parents hung one of those rattan type round lamps from a chain just over my desk and chair area. It was yellow and it gave off the prettiest light in the evenings. I really like recessed lighting, halogen bulbs, and tiny night lights.

We really like to read at night and the lamps we had on those little bedside cubes just were not tall enough to shed any light on our books. I practically had to lean out over the bed with my book to get it under the light to read. That, plus my reading glasses placed on the tip of my nose, made for very uncomfortable reading.

JCPennys.com to the rescue. I have been really pleased with my online purchases from JCP. These 2 wall lamps were on sale for 1/2 price. I was actually surprised at the quality of the shades. You really can't tell how nice they are from these pictures. I certainly couldn't tell when I ordered them. So,

I'd like to find those little metal brackets that will hold the 'wiring' in place, but for now, it's just so nice to read and not fall out of bed.
