As much as I was growing fond of the single light bulb dangling from the ceiling in my dining room for the past thirteen months, I finally got my chandelier hung…and with no time to spare!
Now it’s the focal point of the dining room with garland and lots of jewel tone ornaments. The room feels so bright and happy now :)
Funny how the little things can mean so much when you’ve gone without for a while!
Every once in a while I go through my folders full of pictures and I’m amazed at how the projects accumulate in just a few years.
Here’s a few of my favorites!
I scored a find at Goodwill recently for ten bucks!
The lines were sleek, mid-century inspired, and the drawers were PERFECT. I had been waiting to find a piece where the drawers had no trim, no detail, and seemed to flow into one another.
A perfect candidate for ombre.
After some filling and sanding, the paint went on quickly. One coat of primer over everything. Then two coats of white semi-gloss on the legs and “shell”.
I was in a thrifty mood so all my materials were improvised. I found four unfinished wood pulls in my stash of hardware. And I took the white paint I used on the body and added portions of black paint to it to create the three degrees of gray that worked for me.
I painted each knob the same shade of gray that was on that particular drawer.
I think I’m happy with the results!
