I'm so eclectic and I'm attracted to so many different styles, I try to unite them somehow with color mostly, but when it's time to move in another direction, I'm often ready to get rid of it or change it somehow, anyway, in this day and age of e-bay and appreciation for dollars spent on quality items, I believe you can sell anything in order to replace it and shouldn't ever be attatched to something just because you spent alot on it. It can certainly stunt one's direction when they decorate.<BR/>About those old brass lamps...if you like the shape, I've actually spray painted new finishes on them and replaced or altered shades. I had a friend who painted her old brass chandelier a hammered metal finish using spray paint from Lowes and wow was it a stunner. Worked great.<BR/>Blessings<BR/>TTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818046738439942047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953277467684839302.post-1641978428943984932008-08-16T19:53:00.000-05:002008-08-16T19:53:00.000-05:00That lamp is so pretty.I don't know what my philos...That lamp is so pretty.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what my philosophy is on decorating...I think it ebbs and flows, and my husband and I are both impulsive, then again, we can be indecisive, lol...so who knows? <BR/><BR/>Bella :)Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338523113829241852noreply@blogger.com
