10 minute make-over






The Nester at The Nesting Place Is having a 10 minute make over party and of course I am never one to miss a good party! My make-over didn't even take 10 minutes, unless you count the 8 minutes and 2 nails I broke prying the child proof safety cover out  of the outlet.
Lamp #1.. too blah....Moved out. 
Lamp #2 Moved in.
I think it's a huge difference!
Thanks to the Nester for having such a fun party!  Stop back over there and see all of the other great make-overs!

Don't forget Next Wednesday the 25th  of February I am also having a Mr. Linky trash to treasure, furniture-make over, room make-over party!Stop over and show us the best of what you've done!

  26. Hi Jen, and thanks for stopping by my blog on Thursday. I like the second lamp better, too, not only because of the color but also the size. Bigger IS better, no matter what they told us growing up ...

    Love your clock faces, too. I'm looking for the right spot in my house to put a row of clocks for different time zones, like at airports or The White House :o)
