An opportunity

Life is full of chaptures. I wound up meeting the love of my life, moved to Oregon, lived in the

mountains, started a family, and now it’s just the two of us again. Our sons have moved away in

pursuit of their couriers, leaving us with more house than we really need. Now we have a tiny

apartment for us in the back portion of our home and offer the rest as travelers

accommodations. We are always making improvements to give our guests a great experience.

So here’s where the opportunity comes in. Along with other upgrades, I also get to furnish the

place with some of my lighting designs. Our 1890 house is full of color and you’ll see from the

pictures posted in this blog. The upstairs sleeping area was needing a pair of stunning bedside

lamps for the king bed. The Napoleon table lamp in copper, brass and black was designed and

created specifically for this space. The Bubba lamp was another design for the living room area.

Recently, we changed out the dining set to a sweet vintage 50s style table and chairs. Some

labor was needed to restore the chrome. My preference was using fine steel wool with WD40

and then a bunch of polishing that did the trick.
