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!

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.

Hi Tracey! What an awesome deal! A deal, a little paint, some creativity, and look what you've got. A great piece that looks wonderful in the place you've chosen and no doubt it'll get used so much. Warmly, Heather
