New Lamps for the Attic Bedroom at the Mountain Cottage

I really love our new lamps in our attic bedroom at our mountain cottage.
But, lets back up a bit...

Before Mr. DIY built the paneled wall behind the bed, the angled ceiling was really low, so we had to get lamps that were short and we ended up with some chrome pharmacy lamps. I wasn't really crazy about them, but they worked.

After Mr. DIY built out the wall, so we wouldn't hit our head when we sat up in bed, I thought we'd get some lamps that looked nicer. I forgot about finding new lamps, though because of the long project list and because I couldn't find two that I liked. It was actually Mr. DIY who nudged me again to start looking because HE didn't like the pharmacy lamps.

I started looking online because that was easy and of course, TJ Maxx online is my favorite online shop, and that's where I found them.

So much better, don't you think?

Mr. DIY has been busy with the new bathroom and I can't wait to show you the progress he's made.
It will be nice to have an en suite bathroom downstairs and it's going to be great!
If you'd like to see what the plans are, you can find it HERE.

We'll be taking another week at the mountain cottage soon to finish up the electrical and plumbing and to get those inspections done. After that, the fun stuff begins - the finishes!

Thanks for stopping by,

How Are You Going To Store Your Stuff?

Did you purchase some new Christmas decor this year and wondering how you're going to store it?

Amazon has some great deals right now just in time to store your new items. Be careful about storing your decor in cardboard boxes....you know bug, especially roaches love cardboard. Yuck. 

So these bags are perfect and they're on sale right now. 

Here's a storage bag that holds up to a 9ft disassembled artificial Christmas tree.

If you have an artificial Christmas Tree a little smaller, this Christmas Tree Storage Bag will fit disassembled trees up to 7 1/2 feet.

Don't forget your wreaths!


I wish I had seen this storage container for rolls of wrapping paper a couple of years ago. We keep our birthday and wrapping paper for other occasions in the drawer of an armoire in our office, but I keep the rolls of Christmas wrapping paper up in the attic and bring it down once a year. 
This one would be perfect for that.

If you prefer to store wrapping paper, ribbon, etc. under your bed, this storage option would be perfect.

For those who'd prefer the back of a closet door, here's a great wrapping paper storage organizer.





I keep my Christmas ornaments and smaller decor in Sterilite totes. You can see how we stored our stuff at our last house HERE (this post has over 1.2 million views!) You can see how we store our stuff now at our current house HERE


Time to start organizing and putting Christmas decor away until next year.

Thanks for stopping by!
