Last week, I ran into SteinMart to see if they had some cute pajamas for a “Jammies and Jewels” Royal Wedding watch party I was attending early, early on Friday morning.
I didn’t find any. But, I did find some delicious new chandelier shades on clearance for just $2.94 a piece.
I think they are so fun! I was shocked at how perfectly the blue in the shades matched the blue on my walls (Smoked Turquoise by Glidden).
Now, I feel like I need to do something more with my chandelier, which is what the builder installed and definitely not my first choice in light fixtures. I’m seeing some spray paint in my future- perhaps in turquoise or bright green. And if I don’t like it? No biggie. I never really liked it to begin with.
As with anything I do, one change often leads to another.
Speaking of changes, if you haven’t already voted for my room – #73! – in the Vintage Revival’s Room Makeover Contest, please, please, please do. I would be forever grateful. So would my husband, as I had him painting our master bedroom all weekend long (we aren’t finished, but SQUEE! it’s awesome) and the thought of painting the living room makes him really, really grumpy. Click here to vote – all it takes is one click, so you could do it in like 15 seconds – or 5 if you have an internet connection much faster than mine.
P.S. I have no idea why my photos are kind of yellow on top. I’m sure I’ve hit the “make the top of your photos yellow” button on my camera and didn’t know it. That’s really annoying.
love those! I need something fun for the library (formal dining room) at my house.
Those are too cute, what a great find!
even a cream would go nicely, spray painted on your chandelier. nice contrast.
Totally adorable! Love them and I will go vote now!
I just love the color on your walls! and the shade are perfect! I’m heading over to vote for you:)
So adorable.
Check out the cross stitch wall-hanger I made (in Etsy)

I sprayed my chandelier green and wouldn’t go back to the faux iron look for anything! I didn’t prime or sand since nothing will be touching the paint, and it took two coats of spray. It’s so easy, you should go for it!
YES! That is GORGEOUS! I really do think I’m going to go green. I even have the exact right shade of spray paint on hand. Hmmm…do I smell a weekend project? Thanks for showing me yours – looks great!!
