Just a BlinkProof Time Flies

Baby Boy’s Nursery Lamp Redo

Can I, as a blogger, do anything anymore, without making a docu-drama out of it? Without the hint of a major blog-dom project party to link posts to, do other, non-bloggers, actually DO projects without their camera? Hmmm…..

Thanks to the draw of one such a project-post blog party, called Laundry Party Pow-Wow (hosted by The Masked Mommy), I have completed the little lamp that could project for my laundry room. {See, I knew sparing this lamp from entry into 2 years worth of garage sales would pay off…I just knew it.}

So, in the spirit doing projects, with a camera ever ready at ones side….here is a look at my nursery lamp redo.

While doting on my little lamp that could, I got hooked on lamps. I have always loved the warm feeling a shaded lamp offers vs. the harshness of overhead lighting. But, I never even thought about placing a lamp in my laundry room. In fact, I may have made fun of people with lamps on top of their washer.

That was before. People change, right?

Here are some de-light-ful inspirations that will get you hooked too:

Bless Our Nest has a mud-room dryer light and more.

Shabby Nest, lets her lamp tell it’s own tale.

I may have become just another somebody to laugh at, with my lamp-age all a glow on the washer. But, I am hooked on lamps in the laundry room.

To see what other people are hooked on this week, check out Hooked on Houses, cause she is having a Mr.Linky Party called Hooked on Fridays.

Julia, from a blog called Hooked on Houses, hosts a “Hooked On” party every Friday. Readers share what they are hooked on each week. I am hooked on play rooms and spaces for children.

My recent attic closet to playroom transformation has been such a crucial infusion of play space into our 1000 square foot town-home.

Here are some other kid empowering spaces that I’ve found in blog-land.

1. Wall art made from Ida Pearle alpha cards from a blog called Luckybeans. How fun would be, as a kid, to have a exercise ball in your room? Very cool.

2. The Explore Room at This Vintage Chica is definitely worth a click to visit, drool, and copy!

3. I am hooked on a flickr pool called “Go to Your Room!” Kids at Home. Check out this deliciously colorful room (posted in the flickr pool by Angelique.)
