I am on a mission to redecorate our master bedroom. Nothing major. Just cosmetic stuff. I am going to redo it one piece at a time. So, I will share pics along the way. The first project was to redo my lamps. That's a simple project. They were fine before, but kind of plain and not exactly my style.
I decided to use some sea shells from our trips to the beach in Destin, Fl
because my house has a coastal feel to it. Shells-Free.
These ribbons were actually tied around a new rug that I ordered for our dining room. I decided to save them. I knew I could use them for something. Ribbon-Free.
Jute is always great for projects. Jute (I already had, but it costs around $3).
I picked out only the seashells that naturally had a hole in them.
First, I cut jute strings at various lengths. Then, I put them through the shells and hung them on the lines of the lamp using a glue gun.
Next, I used the "salvaged from my rug delivery" ribbons to cover my work.
Finally, I spray painted the lamps a beautiful glossy coastal blue. Can of spray paint-$3.
TADA!!!!
Simple & Elegant & Only $3.00!
What a difference paint and some seashells can make. Great transformation. ~~Sherry~~
