Professing my love for brass....{once again}.

I am a terrible thrift store shopper {btw, have you hear THE song

about thrift shopping?}........I am constantly inspired by other bloggers

who obviously have good luck with it....but my need for instant

gratification, limited time and a sensitive 'ick' meter that goes

haywire upon entering a thrift store have prevented any

'hey look at this $5.00 mid-century modern desk

I scored at Goodwill yesterday' posts.

One of my many design quirks is that I love brass, always have

and always will.  Emily Henderson, a design crush of mine,

also has the same appreciation for brass that I do.....

her interiors have been inspiring me lately and making me

twitch and shift a bit in my own home.......so....

When I spotted this lamp at my local Goodwill I took a 

picture of it with my phone BUT did.not.buy.it......

I am scared like that when I step out of my comfort zone.

I even went back the next day because that bad-ass brass boy

was on my mind but IT WAS GONE!!!!

Fast forward to a random Wednesday last week.....needing some

small pots to grow wheat grass in for Easter, I stopped

in my local Goodwill to see if I could get some for cheap and 

low and behold, bad-ass brass lamp was back!

Needs a new finial!

I snatched it up without hesitation and brought it home.

Of course, bringing a 'out of your comfort zone' design element

into your space can set off a domino-redecorating affect...but

it can also lend great personality to your spaces - something

unpredictable and unexpected make spaces unique! In my

house, nothing is ever permanent and for $5.99 I think

I just might have scored my first Goodwill score!
