I
decided to add a little bling to my lampshade. I am trying to make my bedroom more romantic looking. I added a ruffle to the top of the shade and ten made a ruffled rosette to the middle and then added a vintage brooch to the center. Something little, but really made a difference.
Ruffling I am not sure if that's a word :) I have been trying to redo my bedroom some. It was painted a soft pink (I know I have a wonderful hubby) It was a color I chose when I was tired and we were trying to just get things done and get in the house, not a good idea to choose colors you have to live with at that point. Anyways I painted two of the walls this week a very light gray. And then I made a ruffled thingy for the end of the bed just for decoration. Then I made some ruffled pillow shams all in white. I found the large gray rose pillow at Homegoods in VA and the small pillow I found at a thrift store in Va. I want to make a white ruffled shade for the window yet.
Now I am onto trying to start other projects that are in my head and have to get to my hands :) in between canning tomatoes and company coming. This summer has been busy and going way too fast.
I have been on vaca for a couple of weeks and then coming home I needed a vaca from vaca :). I had my granddaughter for a week after I came home so I have been busy. But while I was away I found lots of projects to do while thrift shopping. I have been trying to get busy and getting them done. And in between all of this we are building garage and then an addition on our house, which we desperately need, we have a very small house.
My first project I wanted to get done was a ruffled shower curtain.
I just bought a shower curtain at the thrift store and washed it, and then added ruffles to it. I cheated and just bought a ruffled bed skirt and cut the ruffle off and then sewed them on where I wanted. It's simple but I like it. It really brightened up the space.
