Valium (Diazepam)

Posted by: Brenda Kula | March 27, 2009

Today I spent adding trim and beads to the white lampshades in the garden room. Out came the glue gun.

Hobby Lobby had 30 percent off trims and beads this week. So I took advantage of the sale.

Here’s what it looks like with the lights turned off. I just wanted to add a little more blue to my “blue” garden room.

And since it’s rained and rained, I’ve been stuck indoors. (I realize part of a dog is in most of these photos. Aren’t they always?)

I still see that white lampshade staring back at me. But also a little color and sparkle has been added. You know how I like color!

1. Brenda, Those lamp shades are great! I would never have thought to decorate the shades with the beads, but it really works. The quilt on the wall is stunning. I could spend a lot of time in that room.

9. I agree with everyone. The lamp shades are really niffty and I love your quilt. My very first thought on seeing it was to check how it is hung. I’m always curious how other folks hang their quilts. Your house is lovely. Thanks for having all of us in for a visit. You have inspired me, I have a plain lamp shade in the living room that is in for an upgrade. Maybe feathers?

12. I love beads on lampshades, but I never thought about doing it myself. You gotta do something when it rains. I could clean house, but . . . . ~~Dee

13. Dogs like to be where their people are. I have to be really careful or Ruby would be in every single garden picture I take.
