I am very sensitive to lighting I have learned and I could not handle all the light in my apartment. Which is a complaint I have never heard from anyone else, most apartments that I have seen in the city don't even have a single overhead light fixture. #Tori Problems. Thankfully my recessed can lights are all on a dimmer, but still.
Towards the end of summer I ordered a cute little bedside lamp from Pottery Barn on sale and I love it! The only problem is sometimes if I'm watching a movie but also working on emails or painting my nails it drives me nuts that there is a light so close to my bed, but I don't want ALL the overhead light either.
My solution was to order a lamp that I had been eyeing for months that finally went on sale at Anthropologie. It was originally $198 that I was able to get for like $85 with my designer discount plus tax and shipping. It finally came and I learned for the 12378324892476 time why you should not assumed things! There is no outlet that the lamp could reach from my dresser which is the only surface that I have in my apartment to place a table lamp! Sigh.
My resolution is to get a small extension hopefully sometime in the next week and to tack it to my baseboard so it won't be so obtrusive. It's so cute and fun I don't think I can rationalize sending it back.
I also need to get a lightbulb,
I have been busy starting work on a nursery for one of my client's, booked a job redesigning a "teen" room and am almost done with an apartment that I had started this summer!
I will add pictures as soon as I get my lights together!
All the best,
Tori
