Oh well

A disappointing Thursday: I sent the photos of my lamps to my metal plating guy and he said that they were in much too poor a condition to polish or have plated. He suggested I not get them, so I backed out of the lamp purchase. I still love the idea of shiny brass lamps, though, so I will remain on the lookout for some!
In the meantime, you guys were with me for the purchase of the green monster sofa, so I am sending it off on Monday for reupholstery! Can't wait to show you the finished product.
Here are some pale, glamorous interiors to inspire you - hope you are having a great week...

Ebay Score!

Well, I told you I had an amazing find in the works and here it is - my latest score on Ebay. These Curtis Jere brass table lamps!

I am so happy right now! They are signed and dated by Curtis Jere on the bottom. They were made in 1976 (the year I was born - I am a bicentennial baby), and they are so glam and shiny and sexy! They will replace the cream plaster bedside lamps I have currently. I am so into 70's glam, and I have never seen a pair of these for less than 4k! This pair on 1st Dibzies (below) is offered for 8k!

Now, my pair is not in perfect condition - I will re-plate them as I can afford it. But I have never shied away from restoring beautiful things, and these are collector's items that will continue to go up in value. So happy on this hump day! Have you made a great online score lately?
