alexandrea jane
July 26, 2010 at 10:15 ami love the owl bookends and the red whit and blue lamp.
I recently moved into my first post college apt. and am collecting unique items to really make it a home. But on a med school budget its really hard. The lamp is very reminiscent of my grandparents lake cottage. They traveled a lot and all their eclectic pieces really made it feel at home. I hope to be able to do that as well.
Kelly
July 26, 2010 at 10:16 amYes! Awesome! Love it.
