So, how weird are you??
-
Optics are fabulous, camera lenses, binoculars, telescopes.
When does a collector become an obsessive? -
-
Two pianos is definitely not excessive. I had a digital and an upright for a while. I never played the digital though, so when I got my grand (and got rid of the upright) I sold the digital as well.
@jon-nyc what is your second piano? I assume a digital or hybrid? What kind?
@kluurs the more I think about it, the more I think 24 is a lot of lamps for one room....
-
Six OIL lamps. The first one was left in the house by a previous owner. Then I found a matching one in an antique shop and thought it could use a mate, and they could flank the fireplace mantel. Then I fell in love with a pair of sleek modern ones (Wolford) to grace the other mantel in the foyer. Finally, I bought and reconditioned two hand-held lamps for carrying around the house during a power outage (memories of Hurricane Sandy).

I think we need some photos of all these lamps, or at least any interesting ones! Starting with the oil lamps, @realplayer !

Save for counting all you weirdos as friends, I am normal, not weird at all.
While I have a normal number of steak knives, I rarely use them to eat food; rather, I use them for food prep.
I am very good at separating meat from bones using only a spoon and a fork. This does not make my weird, just eccentrically skilled. -

You donβt want to know about my ceramics collection (or maybe you do).

I have zero lamps in my living room but have been meaning to buy one.
Trying to think about what, of my possessions, makes me weird.
I have 2 pianos, but that doesnβt make me weird here.
I have probably 7-8 suitcases. I married Imelda Marcos - I think Mayla might have as many shoes as kluurs has CDs.

I understand having a digital with an acoustic.
Does anyone here have two acoustic pianos?
The only person I've ever met lucky enough was my piano teacher who had a large Bluthner grand(7ft?) And I think a Steinway upright for students. It's a matter of space more than anything.Ventosa viri restabit

Probably 20ish battery candles and battery 'twinkle' lights around that go on around sunset. (didn't take too long before I got rechargeable batteries!)
Living room/dining room loft space in a converted candy factory building from the early 1900's..

What is a battery candle? Is it a stick type light like the kind people sometimes put in their windows?

That sounds like it would make a very cool space!

We have many stick ones on candlestick holders and probably 6 or so "pillar" ones - some on holders and others in lanterns around mantle floor and shelves.

@Rontuner I bet that looks nice! And they all come on automatically?
Yes - they run for about 6 hours after starting - same time each day as when turned on.
There is another setting to just stay on until the batteries die.
Lots of AA battery size candles and then a handful with D size.
