Doesn't this plain shade look much happier with the addition of some trim and a $1 garage sale lamp base? I think so. Have a fabulous Friday everybody!!!
I love adding little bits of trim to pieces like this! I usually pick up these "scrap" trims at a great fabric place that carries designer fabrics and trims. They put 1-2 yard pieces into plastic bags and sell them. So much more affordable and most of the time I only need these little bits. Love the way it turned out!
Love it! It reminds me of the Colonial era and I adore the the style of decorating from the designs of homes to decorations of that time. In fact the wreaths upon your red front doors reminded me a lot of what I saw when I visited Historic Williamsburg in VA. I had always liked using fruits in holiday decorations, but it wasn't until I visited Williamsburg I realized just HOW much potential there was when using them, especially fresh fruits or dried.
Yes, much more cheery!
ReplyDeleteOh Yes! Much happier!! Love it.
