this little light

Remember that little lamp in my kitchen - the one with the plain white shade?

I thought of adding some pom-pom fringe to the bottom of the shade

but then I realized that probably wouldn't look "right" in the kitchen.

So, while browsing the rick-rack options at the local Michael's store,

I found this flowered red trim and thought it was perfect.

Much better than plain, boring white!

Counter areas tend to be dark if you don't have any under-cabinet lighting ~

which I don't.

So, I added a little lamp to a corner to brighten things up a bit.

I think it looks pretty cute in the corner, even in the daytime.

I have three floating shelves above my fireplace instead of a mantle.

I play around with my decor and change things around often
and the shelves are no exception.

I saw the idea of using wine glasses as decorative items either in a magazine

or on Pinterest...can't remember which.

Anyway, I played around with the glasses and came up with this
arrangement for one of the shelves.

Not sure if I'm totally digging this look, but I'll live with it for now.

Here's what the three shelves look like...

How about candlelight?

I think it cozies up a room, especially in the winter.

This little table sits in my living room between the couch and chair.
