The flippers used them all over the freaking house, and put a pair in the mud room off the kitchen. They really do look like a bosom. A friend has suggested that I paint a bra around them.Skymosherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06631975868365718345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103061776704295860.post-36257282913480928062008-03-05T11:43:00.000-07:002008-03-05T11:43:00.000-07:00Ha!

I did find a kind of cool light for my study that you might like--less "hangy" than the one you have. It was $20 at--you guessed it--Home Depot.

I'm not sure if living with it for a week is going to change that. If you have another (larger) room where it could go well, I'd just move it. It is a nice lamp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103061776704295860.post-2583721519136506062008-03-05T07:19:00.000-07:002008-03-05T07:19:00.000-07:00I like Fred's suggestion, too...And it is hard to ...I like Fred's suggestion, too...And it is hard to tell how "hangy" it is, without being able to see the floor in the picture or walk around amongst it. A few days of living with it might give you a good sense.<BR/><BR/>And I'm glad you posted about this-- we haven't hung our light yet, so now I'll know what to expect. You're our guinea pig!<BR/><BR/>(calling them nipple or boob lights makes everyone giggle, every time.)Amaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12813482700712319697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103061776704295860.post-16332507384000969202008-03-04T16:52:00.000-07:002008-03-04T16:52:00.000-07:00I agree with Fred's suggestion to leave it for a w...I agree with Fred's suggestion to leave it for a week and see. I think it looks nice, but I can imagine if you had something else it might look hangy. <BR/><BR/>p.s. I don't *use* the term, but I think of them as nipple lamps, too. I was corrupted by someone in my college dorm and now can't get the image out of my head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103061776704295860.post-85426497095877249702008-03-04T15:27:00.000-07:002008-03-04T15:27:00.000-07:00You called it a "nipple lamp"!!!

We call those the same thing at our house -- neither kim nor I are fans of them, and we didn't know anyone else used such terminology!<BR/><BR/>I do see what you mean about the other light hanging a bit low. I looked extensively for lamps to match the style of ones in our dining room and found it very hard to find a lamp that didn't "intrude" on the living space. Its hard to tell from your picture how much it is coming down on you... but I would suggest leaving it up for a week and seeing if you feel the same way. Sometimes, right after change, I *really* don't like something - like the brown in our dining room -- but then, I really loved it after the room was put together. Maybe the lamp will grow on you?Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366632000942167907noreply@blogger.com
