Fourteenth Floor Up: Desk Lamp

On Sunday, Oliver and I met Sara for a little walking and shopping in DUMBO. Sara needed a 

few things and I needed absolutely nothing.  I figured I should tag along. After Sara's purchases 

and a nice walk along the Brooklyn Bridge Park she dragged (by dragged I mean mentioned we 

should go and I agreed) me to West Elm, our all time favorite store. 

Big mistake. 

Neither of us can go into West Elm and come out empty handed. We have issues. They are called 

West Elm issues and we should probably join a 'West Elm Support Group for Spending too Much 

Money on Furnishing Your NYC Apartment That is Already Fully Furnished'. But really, is your

apartment really fully furnished? Maybe, but there is always the option to upgrade anything and 

everything right? I think so. 

This is why I decided, after falling in love with a desk lamp, that my current very nice and most 

likely expensive hand me down from my parents was not good enough anymore.  I mean, it was 

brass with a yellowed glass shade. I needed something shiny and new. 

Fortunately for me, West Elm just so happened to be having a sale on all of their lighting that 

beautiful Sunday. I caved, easily, and bought the lamp. I knew from the moment I saw it that

it was going to be mine. Plus, does it not look fabulous on the desk in my bedroom!
