Return of the Art Lamps

Picked up a pair of lamps at a thrift shop last summer for the sunroom L hopes to build someday. The backstory we were told by the shop was that they were donated by a prominent Vermont art gallery. (Obviously, they were sold without the vintage shade shown here. )  After a year in storage (and no start date for the sunroom in sight), L thought it was time to get some use out of them.    One is in her home office/study (see below); the other is in the family room.

2023 UPDATE: Wait 'til you see how we'll be repurposing these lamps in the sunroom that we're actually building now! I'd forgotten that they were originally purchased for that room, so I have no guilt about moving them around.

Rest of New Windows In

Last year, we replaced half our windows. This year, we replaced the rest (except for the window in the main bath, which seemed fairly new when we moved in.). Everything went well (no surprises with ants this year.) Only problem is that I inadvertently directed installation of shutters on the side of the house which ended up being too small for the windows. #MeasureTwiceInstallOnce.
