No Shabby Redo

My computer's been causing me lots of problems lately, the up side to that is it's given me extra time to do things around the house that I've been putting off. Little by little we've been doing some work on my daughters room. She wanted a Black and White room, something a little more grown up like Hollywood Glam or Boudoir Style{she's only 13 and shares a room with her little sister, so she needed to compromise a little}and she insists no Shabby Chic or Cottage style for her! Browsing through Anthropologie we found a look we'd all be happy with.
I'm crazy about their Bedding, I'd even consider trading in my vintage sheets and duvet for the Tuxedo Bedding set
Awwww, this would be perfect, what girl wouldn't love a Vanity in her room.

I love these vintage style bulbs{ it's the first I've seen of them} I'd love to use these in a few of my lamps!
And WOW, if I had an extra $4,800 lying around I would buy this too...and hang it over my bed♥♥

I better get back to painting!

Lighting

I think nothing makes a home more cozy than lighting. Next to candles, floor lamps and hanging lights/chandeliers are my favorite. This wrought iron floor lamp(hiding behind the rocker) was my Great Grandmothers. Originally it was black, then I got a hold of it and painted it white...now I wish I had left it black.

I've been keeping an eye out for a vintage chandelier that needs some TLC, that I can completely re-do. These are amazing! I"m not sure which is my favorite, but I'd love to end up with some kind of pastel eclectic mix of each of these.

1. fine dining, 2. Fabric Painted Chandelier, 3. Hanging On, 4. Pink Chandelier, 5. 3-green-chandelier, 6. Blue Chandelier

I bought this about six years ago at The Land of Nod, I'm surprised to see that they're still selling it! It was originally hung in my daughters room when I was putting together her nursery.

You can't see this hanging lamp very well, but I love the way the glass beads reflect off the wall.

I found a tutorial on how to paint a Chandelier over at Karla's Cottage Blog. I'm sure it'll be helpful once I get my hands on a Chandelier~ Thanks Karla!
