Horton’s Home Lighting

I used to like country decorating, do not judge me, it was in style. I no longer do but two lamps had escaped banishment until now. Today was «find the perfect lamps day.» We had previously done this for the bedroom so we had a route planned — department stores, furniture stores then Oakbrook. This previously successful route resulted in nothing. Nada. Zilch.
Going south on 355 I had a vague memory of a lighting store in Orland Park just off 159^th. We arrived and I noticed it was now an outlet store. EVEN BETTER!
The salesman explained how it worked and we found two new lamps for the bedroom, deciding to move the new bedroom lamps to the living room. Then my husband dropped a bombshell on me — he had always hated the floor lamps in the entry and living room. Good thing we are in lamp heaven here!
We went home with 4 lamps for less than we had paid for the two bedroom lamps. No country lamps anywhere to be found in our house and plenty of good light. Score!
Here’s looking at you kid, and seeing you clearly!
