This piece was inspired by a colorful little desk lamp that I have. For three months last fall I was staying in a friend’s spare bedroom while I waited to get into a place of my own. It was wonderful to have a place to stay, but the feeling that it wasn’t really my home was strong. Plus, it was fall/winter and very dark and cold outside. I started taking special notice of how a little lamplight or candlelight could turn that little spare room into a cozy sanctuary. It reminded me that a little golden glow can make a big difference.
