lampshade makeovers, stenciling projects,chalk paint, and a chair makeover

Good morning everyone!

It's Sunday already. Where does time go?

Today I will feature, a lampshade makeover, stenciling fabric, an Annie Sloan chalk paint project, and chair makeover...WOW the talents out here.

You know how much I love lampshade makeovers, and embellishments...

I loved what Meegan from what Meegan makes did to this baby.

So cute!

Next, another project after my own heart...stenciling fabric and making a pillow from 

Interestosity.

What  a beautiful and unique pillow, all for a less than $2.00! My kind of project here.

Then there is the dreamy picture frame makeover from Swede Dreamer with Annie Sloan duck egg blue chalk paint.

You have to see the before to really appreciate it...this is gorgeous!

This last project from Wren from Easy Breezy is a real show stopper.

The chair before, was quite hideous...well NOT that bad, but the NOW..is WOW!

What a nice job Wren! She actually has two chair makeovers in this post.

See you later this afternoon for the newbie party.

Feel free to grab my crow button if I featured you.

I think this one shocked me the most...

at 90 comments on a lampshade that took me all of 5 minutes to come up with.

To think I was almost embarrassed to hit publish on this one.

I have to say this was a lot of fun digging back in my archives.

Hope you newbies of mine had fun looking back too, these are posts you have never seen before, and some of them are from my early on days of blogging.

Fun to also see my photography improve some, and my decor LOL!

This table here was a little wire rack I purchased at Walmart and spray painted it.  It did me good for the time I had it!

Embellished lampshades, how I love thee!

Embellishing a lampshade has to be the easiest thing to spruce up a lamp shade.  

There are so many wonderful ideas out here in the land of blogs.

Something was not sitting right with me in my recent guest room Fall decor transformation.

Although, I simply adore this lamp and shade, I believe it was a bit too busy, with the bedding.
I don't mind busy, but this was too much for me.

You remember recently I just made over this desk...

And you see the cute little lamp...

Well I did a swap aroonie..

Still going with the burlap...
I cut a few circles, folded them in half, made a little stitch at the fold and added (hot glued) a cute button.

Then I just randomly hot glued them to the shade.

Like my cute little travel clock?
Scored that for $3.00 at a Garage sale...
Wish I would have bought all three that were for sale, they are pretty cute!

OOPS I see a hanging thread, I must go trim that now...

Here is how the desk looks now..with the other lamp on it...

My No. 1 chair is also a score from a local boutique selling second hand decor.

You know if the magic eight ball says...

Then that is the way it is staying!

Hope to see you cool cats starting tomorrow sometime for my Magazine copy cat challenge.
