We were on vacation last week at the Outer Banks (OBX) and it was a great week EXCEPT that Joe was sick:( He didn't feel well when we left so I drove. I have discovered that I do NOT enjoy driving for 7 hours straight:) We left on Sat. and he kept getting sicker. So, On Monday we went to an urgent care clinic and LONG story short he has pneumonia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His temp when we got there was 103.9! So he is on a VERY strong antibiotic and prescription Motrin and he NOW feels much better but it took a few days. I felt so bad for him to be sick on vacation. Anyway, today I met my daughter and we did some shopping and had lunch together and I found some new SUMMER lamps for the guest room! So here we go, I am showing you a before and after and a little look around the room too. Here is the before: I do like these lamps but wanted to lighten up a bit for Summer!  And, since I have some shell pictures in here I thought these would work. I am sorry the light isn't good, it has been RAINING for days:(<span id="goog_1259867964"></span><span id="goog_1259867965"></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMHupjqPJK4Yw1eTLy_b1p4IkMp-kkqPX1tetRevTsl-IkihAyihxYiyOeg8V_917cLn-LWEFANRQ-ODtDwemJw0vkY9-qZ3n6C0dE8g2PH2c5gmDM1pX5TO0n0nuj_uhCpMFvelW0pT5L/s1600/IMG_0578.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMHupjqPJK4Yw1eTLy_b1p4IkMp-kkqPX1tetRevTsl-IkihAyihxYiyOeg8V_917cLn-LWEFANRQ-ODtDwemJw0vkY9-qZ3n6C0dE8g2PH2c5gmDM1pX5TO0n0nuj_uhCpMFvelW0pT5L/s640/IMG_0578.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> The night stands are on the small side so I need to use smaller lamps in here.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-XjBcvh0ZosjF2WUIGKiFJwcBepoJ54De3JdB9SDEG9XP0GoKjEIbzoclWn9IIfbTLbpva0cwxUTmZdN2VE2yRhPtGjyFMZg1vXwUiKVRlJ3UiZCMcLrs2C2AxqjwfkQfwEj_2uIFma3p/s1600/IMG_0579.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-XjBcvh0ZosjF2WUIGKiFJwcBepoJ54De3JdB9SDEG9XP0GoKjEIbzoclWn9IIfbTLbpva0cwxUTmZdN2VE2yRhPtGjyFMZg1vXwUiKVRlJ3UiZCMcLrs2C2AxqjwfkQfwEj_2uIFma3p/s640/IMG_0579.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDNB87KALaHtkzEEzeMnT3h6h5-SR0AveUp7-hvap-aWomUfk-_r26_xM3D56SyhYzO-wn-So_NdlGoLMx6ikR-pdjwITuloaR3Gx5UXpFQ2dt20Cku_VTJ0k_PQEbWw3E3zVXHDof7V5F/s1600/IMG_0580.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDNB87KALaHtkzEEzeMnT3h6h5-SR0AveUp7-hvap-aWomUfk-_r26_xM3D56SyhYzO-wn-So_NdlGoLMx6ikR-pdjwITuloaR3Gx5UXpFQ2dt20Cku_VTJ0k_PQEbWw3E3zVXHDof7V5F/s640/IMG_0580.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I just LOVE the raised shells on these lamps.
