As I’ve shared, my goal is to have our master bedroom done and complete by the end of the month…and yet it’s the details I’m getting lost and caught up in.
Do I want green as my accent or yellow?
I thought green, but with such a dark paint color as Trout Gray, maybe I then need a bright yellow instead?
No?
Stick with green?
Stick with green?
And what about curtains?
Do I go with pattern or print?
Ruffles or not?
Ruffles or not?
green, yellow, pattern, print, ruffles…
And this is ONLY the beginning~
Because then there’s this whole Summers Lamp Crisis of 2011, or better yet, Summerlocks and the Three Lamps.
Except I only have two…but give me a day!
It started with these but I thought, eh too small…too plain.
And then I found these for a steal, but now I wonder, too big…too funky?
And while I love big & funky (NOT what she said!), I then have the whole Lamp Shade debacle!
Which is, I need to find one, preferably rectangle that is longer than 9 inches.
(okay, SHE said on that one for sure! orrrrrr, maybe not.)

The one I have now, the large size from Target, is just not cutting it.
Much too small a top for such a big bottom.
{kind of how I feel about my boob to butt ratio, but that’s WAY off topic.}
I mean, do they even MAKE lamp shades bigger than large?
But then, even if I find a perfect lamp shade, I have to revisit my original concern of Too Big/Too Funky?
Will it bother me that the base is lit-RALLY as wide as the nightstand?
And then look at my little tray!
{gotta love the iphone picture quality…but i have bigger issues at the moment than capturing quality shots!}
See?
How small does it look next to that lamp?

That’s an issue, yes?
Aye Aye Aye.
I may lose sleep you guys.
In fact, my sister (heather) and I have been texting back and forth, and now my problem is her problem, and we’re both considering a drink to calm ourselves down.
Whatever will I do?
And by “I” I mean “we” because now you are involved in this issue and I expect that you will have the words of wisdom that will bring resolution.

Go ahead…comment away!
My sanity depends on it.
{this would be the time my “critics” on that one site should speak and offer advice rather than talk behind my back. a girl needs her gays!}

I’m terribly amused by the “boob to butt ratio” thing. HA! And I support having a drink to get through this miniature crisis.
I think the green lamp is too big. I thought green was fine until you said yellow. Now, I’m like… OOH, YELLOW!
My absolute fave color combo in decorating is gray and yellow, so that’s my choice. And I like lamp #1 myself – fits better.
Hope you can make a decision! And definitely deserves a drink! 🙂
I agree the green lamp is too big. Could you look for one in between those 2 sizes at a garage sale or thrift store and spray paint it green or yellow?
You crack me up! I too thought the boob to but ratio thing was very funny! Whatever you decide on will look great. I think the bigger lamp would be a big reach while reading in bed.
Summer you are too funny with the boob to butt ratio thing! I looks like a long stretch to reach to turn the light off if you are reading in bed. I think the smaller one might be better. Both yellow and green are great though
i think the gray yellow combo is overdone. green is more unique 🙂
the lamps are too big. too bad cause they are cute.
your original laps were good too 🙂
maybe some smaller ones with lucite bases?
I love the silver lamps, but I’d hot glue a little lace or fringe on the bottom ridge and then a band of ribbon (black?) at the top.
The amazing thing about the gray walls is you can choose pretty much any accent color. I think a marigold would be gorgeous and cheery. The beauty is that you can change it up really easy, no need to repaint 🙂
