White Light

One morning...

Mike and I woke up early and went out for our weekend Frugal Luxury of...

Coffee (me) and Cocoa (Mike).


As we enjoyed our treats...

we noticed a collection of bright pink "Yard Sale" signs beckoning to us.

Unable to resist...

we stopped to investigate.

Being pragmatic, I pulled out my yard sale card (it holds my "Wishes,Wants & Needs")...

and was reminded that we were lacking a free-standing reading lamp...

in a very cramped corner...

next to the davenport...

in the Kitchen nook.

Just then, I noticed this brass lamp...

offered for a mere five dollars!

(See the picture above.)

After several light coats of white spray paint (left from another project)...

it transformed into a very useful reading lamp that matched our decor.

Now, thanks to the new reading lamp...

the Kitchen nook now has a cozy corner in which we can read...

or...

work on the computer!

All for a mere five dollars.

NYC Woman To Wear Same Dress Every Day For a Year - PSFK.com

Being a simple yet artistic soul...

I've long yearned for an (attractive) uniform for adults...

something to simplify daily dressing...

but still look attractive, affordable and artistic.

It seems I'm not alone!

This fascinating blog is about a woman who wears the same dress (i.e., uniform)...

every day...

and the creative ways she spins variations of the same.


I deem this a Frugal Luxury Personified!!
