Old to New! Without paint this time.

I was going to focus on my painting projects, but I am waiting for my new camera so I am going to jump around with what pictures I already have. Much more my style anyway..


The top picture is the day we moved in. That is what it looked like before and the bottom one is the same one.. I went to hobby lobby and bought lamp shades cut the inside of it put them on, then hungggg.. wait for it...... Christmas ornaments! I know, I am very proud of myself. haha.The glass jewels are some Christmas ornaments that I got at target a few years ago. Well I only had four and I needed 5 for my light so I went to hobby and found some in the wedding department.... Anyway, I thought it was a big improvement. I never would have bought something like this going to the store but I love what I once loathed.  And no one else has it.
So my motto for today is... You don't have to live with something you hate just because you don't have the money. Think about what you already have and use your creativity!
(I should have dusted these before I took a pic.. oh well) I will get better at this!
