Floor Lamp with Reading Light from Wayfair

Do you remember CSN Stores? Well, now they are Wayfair. They still have the same great online store with lots of great products. Wayfair has something for everyone. You can find anything from end tables to baby toys, kitchen tools to bed sheets.

I recently had the opportunity to review something from Wayfair. Do you know how hard it is to choose something from a store this large? It took me hours. I looked at this and that and more. Finally I thought of something that I needed to replace in my house.

I chose the Adesso Piedmont Torchiere Floor Lamp with Reading Light. We use two floor lamps for light in our living room. The only other option is a large ceiling fan with 4 lights. It's too bright for everyday use, so we stick to the floor lamps. We've had ours for several years, and a few months ago mine bit the dust. This was a perfect time to try something new.

The product: The Adesso Piedmont Torchiere Floor Lamp with Reading Light is just what I've been looking for. I like the added reading light that comes with this. Sometimes it's just what I need for reading a book in the evening or other work like sudoku puzzles in my lap. This light has a 3-way switch. It will turn on the top/floor lamp part only, reading light only, or both lights. Most of the time I just use the floor lamp portion.

Easy Canvas Prints Review + {Rafflepcopter Giveaway – Ends 10/31} (CLOSED)

This giveaway is closed. Congrats to the winner listed below!



Like most parents I take many pictures of my son. I upload them to my computer, then what? Well, most of the time they just sit there. And sometimes there are great photos that really should be displayed.

Now there is an easy way to beautifully display your pictures in your home. Easy Canvas Prints help you turn your photographs into displays that you’ll be proud to show off in your home. And with Easy Canvas Prints it truly is easy.

Here’s how it works. You go to http://www.easycanvasprints.com/. Then you choose the size of print you want, upload your image and select the border you want. And finally you can do image and color effects to your image for that great look you want.

They have a variety of shapes and sizes that you can choose from. And if you don’t have an image of your own to use, you can pick one of their canvas art prints. They have an assortment of different things like fine art, nature scenes and animals. You will be able to find just the right thing to complete your room’s look.

I used a photo that I took of my son in the park this summer. I fell in love with the photo as soon as I took it. It was perfect to put on canvas and hang in my living room. I got a 10x8 size with the standard 3/4” wrap. It was so easy to upload my photo and choose the canvas I wanted.

My Easy Canvas Print turned out so well. I am really pleased with it. I was not able to hang it where I wanted, it just didn’t work there, so it’s in a temporary location in my living room. I will have to think about where I really want it, but it will fit in with any decor. You can see the print I did above. (It’s a weird angle, but I wanted you to see the wrap on it too.)

To get your own canvas print go to www.easycanvasprints.com/ and the rest is easy. Their prices are very reasonable. And right now they have 25% off and free shipping on all orders. The discount will be seen right away when you start your order.

You can even win a print from Easy Canvas Prints. It’s simple, just enter in the Rafflecopter form below.

The Daily Portrait Review + {Giveaway} (CLOSED)

Looking for a unique one-of-a-kind gift for a special occasion? From new babies to anniversaries, Milson Road's The Daily Portrait is a wonderful gift for anyone. This is a product that the recipient will treasure and come back to for a long, long time to come.

The Daily Portrait is a custom made framed print that memorializes a special day for the recipient. It is personalized with their name and information that you chose to add, and then it elaborates on the news events of that day. All of this is expertly matted, framed, wrapped, and packaged for you to give away…or keep for your family.

With The Daily Portrait you can chose between their Anniversary, Baby Boy, Baby Girl, Baby Twins, Special Birthday, Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, Graduation, or Wedding event. They include a "special edition copy block" that has the recipient's name, the giver's name, and the special occasion. It also has the celebration date, a customized lead news story with the details of the event, and the news of the day from national and international sources. Then it comes with a commemorative plate and custom frame & mat combinations. You can chose from several different frame options and matting color choices.

My favorite part of The Daily Portrait is the customization. You get to create the main "news story". It comes out looking like a genuine newspaper page, but it is special for the person you give it to. And they even have gift certificates for you to give at a baby shower or as a wedding gift, so they can customize their own gift after the big day.


I made a wedding Daily Portrait to commemorate our 10^th wedding anniversary last month. I wanted to order it in advance, so I could give it to my husband. Otherwise I would have chosen the anniversary one. I like have the wedding edition, because it reminded us about our wedding and what a beautiful day it was. Plus we now have it hanging on our wall with a little wedding photo on it as well.

I love the way it looks hanging on our wall too. It is a large portrait with its 21.25 x 18 inches with the frame and mat. With the ability to customize the frame and matting color, it can match any décor. I chose to have the matting in a light purple, because that was one of our wedding colors. It's just a great way to remember a special day.
