Bedroom Side Table Lamp

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The master bedroom sitting area is still looking pretty sparse.  I know what I want there but just haven't pulled the trigger to get everything I want in that space.  I've been taking baby steps with pieces to ensure the pieces are actually going to stay.  </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm learning to build the room piece by piece.  </span>I've noticed that when I make quick decisions and buy things just to fill a space, I regret the purchase and want to start over again.  A waste of time and money.  </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When <a href="http://lamps.com/">Lamps.com</a> contacted me to review a lamp, of course I said yes.  I had the perfect spot for a lamp.  A lamp would be a good starting point for the sitting area.  Lamps.com has a huge selection of table lamps, floor lamps, and chandeliers for all tastes.  You can find just about any type of light you are searching for.  </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I decided to go with the <a href="http://www.lamps.com/dimond-hgtv124-chrome-plated-hgtv-table-lamp.html" target="_blank">HGTV Chrome Plated Table Lamp</a>.  It has a ceramic base with chrome plating on it.  I had already bought a side table for the space and this lamp would be perfect to sit on top. The lamp came packaged nicely and was easy to go from box to table.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTWN8THAddRad5MedRSgba2FTUQnIhtou4h-VFR-3pGKoPq97bhBfG__5Kec5U59qBcojpF_KhhloVuTZTEVQEGXSFkCNpqcfTJN7mBV19oGyKYfFJ6nKclsl4PZ_YbAEeQFtQBLNqnSQ/s1600/lamp01.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTWN8THAddRad5MedRSgba2FTUQnIhtou4h-VFR-3pGKoPq97bhBfG__5Kec5U59qBcojpF_KhhloVuTZTEVQEGXSFkCNpqcfTJN7mBV19oGyKYfFJ6nKclsl4PZ_YbAEeQFtQBLNqnSQ/s640/lamp01.JPG" width="444" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9nOyPtqEbARMf48Ap8N8bdAST3m_HxGYA95bKQNrl-m-RcwoqUbWZ8Jr-2kEoytFrVKlXUfv4Pkk-F0LldNrRODnh0ZphCLxHFsrHa83eog0hRkoxfiekY2OitMhCXa69E1KEvUoxFrc/s1600/lamp02.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9nOyPtqEbARMf48Ap8N8bdAST3m_HxGYA95bKQNrl-m-RcwoqUbWZ8Jr-2kEoytFrVKlXUfv4Pkk-F0LldNrRODnh0ZphCLxHFsrHa83eog0hRkoxfiekY2OitMhCXa69E1KEvUoxFrc/s640/lamp02.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I love the hammered look of the base.  The weight of it is pretty substantial and seems to be of good quality.  I wasn't sure what to expect.  The grey shade has a slight sheen to it adding a touch of glamour and sophistication and goes well with the other greys throughout the room.  It is the perfect size for this little table.  This lamp is definitely a step in the right direction.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSeIzPqEU8GhGS4QmTpipjxc6sVrKulpvr7SH4tGLz5eSHmVSd3cg_UHylhZD1ITGHYLiWXE5DD1gPXmbgsqLBZbWvBUqTDJ6wjdkHgSjOVSV8Upf4EBR_w2vikgPc1IL-I3JV1J4rSfo/s1600/lamp03.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSeIzPqEU8GhGS4QmTpipjxc6sVrKulpvr7SH4tGLz5eSHmVSd3cg_UHylhZD1ITGHYLiWXE5DD1gPXmbgsqLBZbWvBUqTDJ6wjdkHgSjOVSV8Upf4EBR_w2vikgPc1IL-I3JV1J4rSfo/s640/lamp03.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZPqSdFBES-gJZw_IpM-da9urvEDVMzf0YGjbcjIHbrPYgxbhJCGQG5fWpb739vQSbQx3JKFPa92-jahDXxJ-FvyXMIESFAIBhICgL25fTRSWUrdYjtKs6by2f3gnxTqbv5aWqH261I8/s1600/lamp04.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZZPqSdFBES-gJZw_IpM-da9urvEDVMzf0YGjbcjIHbrPYgxbhJCGQG5fWpb739vQSbQx3JKFPa92-jahDXxJ-FvyXMIESFAIBhICgL25fTRSWUrdYjtKs6by2f3gnxTqbv5aWqH261I8/s640/lamp04.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Check out <a href="http://lamps.com/">Lamps.com</a> to see their selection.  You may find a new source for your lighting needs.  I already see a few more items I'd like to add to my home. </span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.7969px;">*</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">I received this product to review for free but the views and opinions expressed are my own.</span></span></span></i></div><br /><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54489/316/0CB760E2AD1EF5DEC1BEB8DD6026223F.png" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; border: 0px none !

Decorating With Gold

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's funny how years ago I was so against gold decor in the home.  I always thought it looked dated and old.  Now gold is back with a vengeance.  It's been everywhere lately becoming almost a neutral.  Very chic.  While I'm not totally all in, I do tend to like it better in small doses as opposed to large pieces.</span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
