DIY drum shade

I am trying to make my bedroom more romantic looking.  It was the last room in the house to get painted and it wasn't what I was hoping for.  So I am starting to redo it. Starting with a new chandelier, from IKEA (love that store) and I wanted to add a drum shade to it.  I started with some chicken wire and formed it in a circle.  Then glued on my material that I got at Joanns on sale.

I Love how it turned out, you know how sometimes what is in your head doesn't always turn out , this did  YEAH!!!

Burlap Art

I am redecorating my guest bath.  I am doing it in some rustic accents with just a little bling thrown in.  I made this out of a vintage picture frame.  Then cut some cardboard and covered it in burlap and put a trim of jute around the edges.  The I took some scrapbooking embellishments and put them on.  I  like it!  I love searching the scrapbooking aisles for stuff to use when decorating.  I'll show the rest of the decorations later.

Ruffled lampshade

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.

My Valentine Mantle

I am starting to do a little Valentine decorating.  I don't do much but I like to fill my jars and put a couple of banners out.  I put this heart banner on my mantle.  I ordered this off of Etsy through a very talented lady.   I love the pastel colors in the banner and the way she has it held together with silk ribbbon.  The images are vintage images that are so sweet.

Sweater Vases

I was wondering what to put in my vases for the Winter.  And while I was Pinteresting :)  I came across sweater vases.  This could not have been a more easy craft to do and fun.  I had a sweater that had a couple of hole in the shoulder and was going to throw it away or make a pillow out of it.
  I decided to cut the sleeves off and use them on my vases, I love them.  They seemed a  little bare and I knew they just needed some bling.  I used two vintage brooches that I had.  Glued them on and tied some jute string around the middle. 

Here they are on the mantle, I havn't decided wether I am going to tie a bow or just tie the jute around.  So for now I did one of each.
