I started by taking the frilly shade off of his lamp....... |
I gave the cloche some romantic touches by adding a satin bow..... |
hanging some odds and ends crystals around and on it...... |
Then, I put a vintage style light bulb in to give off a romantic glow. |
I did a post earlier this month showing how I used this same cloche as a base for a floral design. |
I am going to make a few changes to the sofa and wall above it.....but that's another story! |
I don't remember when I didn't have this ladder or where I got it from, but I just love it! It goes clear to the ceiling! |
H brought it in from the yard....cleaned it up......and now I have it decorated in a corner of the family room |
Before..................................................................................................After |
Love the weathered look that the ladder got while it was outside |
H has a large round table next to his chair and then I've added a carousel of smaller tables around the larger one to give him plenty of space for all his stuff. |
A small printers tray holds keys and any other smaller objects |
Enamel pan for his kleenex...... |
And a smaller enamel pan for the remote and his mouse. I put away some of his stuff for the photo, but trust me....all these tables are full when he's in his chair....lol! |
So, now you know where H hangs out when he's not busy .....which is not very often during the day. But you can nearly always find him here in the evening! |
Penny,
ReplyDeleteLOVE that ladder! It gives you endless possibilities! The chicken wire cloche as a shade is an excellent idea!!! And I love the cluster of round tables!! Another great idea which I had the room to use!!
Hugs,
Debbie
I think the area is his command post :). I love how you created the lamp shades. Nice changes.
ReplyDeleteOh Penny, everything is lovely! I am needing a smaller lamp in my kitchen, I think I might try to make something like this! I like the "floral" design you did with the other cloche too! And....the sheep pillow...where did you buy it? I need that too! Have a good night. Leticia
ReplyDeleteTy so much for your sweet comment! I bought my sheep pillow at a local shop here in New Mexico. I just found some sweet farmhouse style pillows on Amazon and can't wait to get them in.....so, you might look there. hugs....
DeleteI always enjoying stopping by to see what you are up to! I love the new lampshades and now I think I might need to paint my ladder.
