We are getting there! This afternoon we had four recessed can lights and two pendant lights installed in my newly converted studio space...WOW! I can see in here! Took these pictures tonight with flash. Double click to enlarge. Now, I'll be able to finish a few projects and work on organizing and decorating more in the evenings. What a treat to finally have these installed, especially during daylight savings! I love the glass pendants with their super cute chains. I also put out some vintage yardsticks. The left side of the room is done for now. Tomorrow, I start the right side. Remember this?
She's getting a coat of Rustoleum Autumn Brown tomorrow. It is a multi colored, textured spray paint. I did a test run today and loved it. It looks like rust! Thanks to
Erin at Like Grandma's for sharing this wonderful paint in some terrific projects! You have me hooked. Speaking of hooks, I bought some hooks to hang her too. So, I'll be patching my holes and hopefully have her up by tomorrow night. We'll see!
Here's some fabric that I've picked for drapes in the studio and adjacent dining room. The best part about the drapes though is the trim!
(Insert squeal here!) The jacquard tape is going between the two solids. The drapes will flank the french doors in the studio and cover the full 12 ft of wall. They will just be panels and not able to close. The light color solid will be in top with the darker color from the door knobs down or so. I can't wait! The multi brush fringe will be used with the multicolor tapestry looking fabric and the brown tweed for my dining room. The rooms are adjacent and open to each other so I needed the colors to compliment. I'm very excited to finally have some nice window coverings in both these rooms. The old palm tree can go once I have some fabric up to help warm up the room and more importantly give it some height. Enjoying this labor of love. Still filling it with treasures. How about you? What are you working on this weekend? I'd love to hear and see. Leave me a comment. I love them!
Wow your studio is fab! I love your pendant lights they are gorgeous! Your window treatments sound like they are gonna be a-mazing! I cant wait to see it. Have a great weekend.
