A nice thing about using the same paint over and over is that this shelf is exactly the same shade of white as Zoe’s bed, which I painted several years ago when I took apart Sonia and Zoe’s bunkbeds. Because it was toooo cold to paint outside (paint prefers more temperate temperatures. ? )

In my living room, I have two floor lamps from my other house, and then I’ve got this free lamp from Facebook Marketplace: And I’ve also got this one that came in a set of lamps I bought on Facebook Marketplace. Do the lamps match? If you DO want random things to match, paint them!

I do have other posts in the offing, but they’re not quite ready yet! The Christmas tree was where that lamp is I like Christmas decorations, but I also really, really love the feeling of having everything clean and tidy and back to normal. You know how I’m painting that bookshelf white? It is not good for caulk.

Lately though, I’ve begun to re-consider. The free item needs too much re-furbishing. I took it apart (which took about an hour) and am stripping the paint off the iron (think at least one can of paint stripper) and then will spray with Rust-oleum – and I just found out that the cans I thought I had had been used on lamps!
