From Table Lamps to Bathroom Accessories

This is a perfect example of how my mind works. One thought always leads to another, but where I end up usually has nothing to do with where I started. I was browsing the selection of table lamps on CSN Stores for a suitable desk lamp. Can you believe I spend all this time at my desk at home and I do not have a lamp on it? I just rely on a nearby floor lamp for light.


Then I started thinking about getting the children's trampoline I had passed over for the writing desk last time I shopped on this site, but it was out of stock. That led to a go-kart, which led to a hanging jewelry armoire, which brought me back to table lamps, which then brought me to bathroom accessories. Are you following me so far?

I think the cause of my indecisiveness is the ongoing inner struggle between what we need and what we want. I think I compromised with myself and found something we both need and want. Our two bathrooms have been horribly neglected since we bought this townhouse. It was always our plan to remodel them, but we just never did. The chrome bathroom accessories below will go in the downstairs bathroom, which needs the least amount of work between the two.


Anyone want to come help me peel off wallpaper?

    This post made me laugh! This is SO how my mind works. A constant wander! My thoughts that come out are about the same. It makes my husband crazy! Actually, it makes me crazy sometimes too! I start cleaning one room, but as I'm putting away something in another room, I start picking up something in that room, and it continues on like this. I end up with halfway jobs because I've started each one but never finished because I got distracted! I always wonder what it would be like to just focus on one thing until it was done.

    hey the mind of a woman is always thinking on so many subjects at hand that it gets a bit overwhelming for me at times LOL
    I know I have gone to the store to pick up a towel bar and ended up with storage tubs and in return opening up a whole new can of worms and another project LOL
