Added to the bucket list

 a few more little bucket lamps 

for the breakfast room

 these ice cream buckets are painted a wonderful aqua/teal green

 you may not remember my other bucket projects 

so here is one to take a peak at

 the custom shade I had made in fabric from those wonderful 

old drapery panels 

my new neighbor Ellie

so generously gave to me
you can read that post here and here

Ellie is hard at work renovating her home

 and I am hoping she will let me have a peek next time I see her!

 this is a small and sunny little space just off the kitchen 

and will change a bit when the kitchen is renovated

  there is not much room 

so every square foot matters

 I'm not sure how I will re-work the furniture 

but I like it in this cozy space and I think it is right for the age
and style of this ranch house in the country

 the roof line is really odd and low 

but can't be changed unless we pull the whole roof off

so that needs to be worked around

 I probably should have a table with leaves to extend the size of the dining area

but....just don't think I will do that either

 I'm sort of committed to the idea of small and tidy

which makes life pretty simple in this house

 there will be a window seat where the vintage planter is now 

so the lamps will need to be placed somewhere else

it's interesting how the vintage Ralph Lauren fabric on the shades

and the Benison fabric on the chair seats go so well together.

 I love these lamps in this room and will need to come up with some new ideas how I can work them into the new kitchen design

 do you have any creative ideas
or interesting spots for table lamps?

I'd love to hear your ideas

happy remodeling!
