LET THERE BE LIGHT......

 It's been well over a week since my quest for a new floor lamp began......one that can provide enough light and reach over the back of our pillow filled couch where I stitch at night.
Geneen suggested trying a 'head light'......which actually isn't strange because at that point I had already pulled out one from 'the husband's' workshop.  I was desperate.  But, it was impossible to direct the light to my work when I lowered my head to stitch.  

 In the end I ordered the monster light I showed here....but when I found out it couldn't be shipped until April 28 AND had to come by an over the road trucker....I suspected this lamp was really huge.
I cancelled the order and made a trek to Pottery Barn in Greenville, SC.  (I hadn't realized there was a store there or I'd have started with them in the first place!)  Instead, I purchased this lamp...which I LOVE.  I have to say Pottery Barn could do better with their online descriptions......this worked but reading the info you'd never know it could be adjusted to accommodate the needs I have.

Can you tell I really like it?  Here's three photos showing it off.......

Yeah! In my mind, there's nothing like seeing the merchandise in person before buying. Especially with lamps of any kind. Stitch on!

How nice!!! And it's not obnoxious!! I might have to check that out when we get home. Even there I have to hold my ott light with my leg!! My end table is on my right...I need light on my left!
