February 2020 mood board

Perhaps it's obvious to use pink and red in a February mood board, but how about that green? Here in Georgia, we've had unseasonably warm weather recently, and this green is to show how close we are to spring. Green is a great foil to pink (and to purple!)

Here are a few links to where you can buy some of the items from the mood board, so you can put some of this February mood into your life! (I may receive affiliate payments from these links.)

The pole lamp project

 (This is cross-posted from my personal blog at slumberland.org.)

Recently I acquired a mid-century tension pole lamp. The kind that looks sorta like this:



But mine was free, because it looked like this:

The sellers dropped it while removing it from the house, so they gave it to me free, and then I had to search for replacement shades and find out how to rewire the thing. The wiring was truly scary and that pole had large sections of rotting electrical tape inside it. Ebay came to the rescue for the shades, and YouTube for the rewiring.
So here’s the result! I rewired it one evening and was actually shocked (pun unintended) to find that it worked! The shades aren’t colored — they are white, but putting colored light bulbs in them gives the colored shade effect — when the lights are on, at least.
Picture
I’m really happy with the way this came out. It ended up not being free since I had to buy shades and wiring supplies, but it was a lot cheaper than buying one of these already in good working condition! I am NOT a person who goes around rewiring things and if I can do it, so can you — try it!
