Tying Up Loose Ends in the Family Room

I had some unfinished business in the family room!    Do you ever move on to another project before you've finished the one you started....happens to me all the time!

  When I created a new lamp shade from a chicken wire cloche.....there was supposed to be a pair of them.  One on on each side of the sofa.    Now I can mark that off my list!

The lamp shades aren't exactly alike since I used left overs to create them,   but they are similar

This one has pink bird crystals hung on it .......

The ribbon is different ,,,,,,and it has a crystal cross on the front

If you missed the post on how I decorated the one by H's chair,  here's a link to it......http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2017/08/ladder-love-and-chicken-wire-lampshade.html

My next unfinished project was the screen for the fireplace.

One side of the screen is covered in white lace.........Now,   the other side of it is covered in a white and grey buffalo check.

It was an easy project,   I just sprayed adhesive on  the board,   smoothed the fabric out,  and trimmed it with a razor blade.

I had bought several yards of this fabric.    I wanted  to make a table cloth,   cover the piano bench,  cover the fireplace screen AND cover a couple of pillows.   Still need to cover the pillows,  but at least I've completed more of the project now.   I found this fabric at Hobby Lobby,   it's about $6 a yard if you use your coupon.

In order to have a pair of lamps for each side of the sofa,   I had to give up the lamp base that was on the table by my chair.    I shopped the house and found a base in the guest room that was perfect.

I  wanted my lamp to be similar to the ones on each side of the sofa..

I had another chicken wire cloche....lol......I still have one more like this one only a bit bigger!    

I decided not to hang crystals on this shade.    I just clipped some vintage button cards around the rim of it.

Then I crated a little farmhouse style vignette on the sewing machine base.

I also changed out my blanket and pillow.

My side of the room is on the left and H is on the right.
  We have meals in our recliners more often than I want to admit......our laptops are right by our chairs......I have a pink bag full of stuff I "need" by my chair......pillows .....blankets......etc.....

Most of my loose ends in the family room are tied up now and I'm ready for the week end.
