I am happily married with a wonderful husband, a precious four year old son, and two sweet dogs. I love to decorate my house and am always looking for inexpensive projects to tackle. My smart and handy husband always seems to get involved whether he wants to or not. I love to shop and go to yard sales with my mom to find really good deals. I am so blessed to be able to stay at home (my most favorite place to be) and take care of my family.
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.
