This post is sponsored by Lamp Plus Merry Bright and Brassy. Oh yes, I believe that describes me and this house to a “T” and perhaps the color black thrown in for good measure as well.

Paint colors for the Living Room, Dining and Foyer
Have I ever mentioned I used to sell lipstick for a living? Well, lipstick and a few other cosmetics items. Fresh out of college, I became an Elizabeth Arden Cosmetic counter girl.
