Full Room Furniture Revival - Reveal Part 1

You might remember that I've been working on a full room revival in my SIL's master bedroom {My brother lives there, too}. We started with some outdated but beautiful furniture that she was ready to toss.

She had some good arguments: 'I've had it forever. I've more than gotten my money out of it.' That kind of stuff.

Finally, I talked her out of it and she agreed so long as those decorative "shells" wouldn't still be carved into her furniture once I was done.

Now, I could see some lovely potential with these shells. All it need was a little paint, some distressing. But they screamed, "I am old and outdated" to her so they had to go. And, in the end, I am so glad. I am in love with how it turned out!

So, whadya think? A major improvement, right!

Updated Light Fixture from the Garden Department

Brass has it's place and some people pull it off really well in their homes. But it always feels dated in mine.

I wanted something more modern for my foyer. Something with a bit of an industrial feel. I thought it might go well with my DIY shim mirror and my redone dresser, a.k.a. Lego holder.

I won't lie. It took some puzzle work and there were times when I thought, 'this requires more spacial ability than I have', but I finally got it!

I reworked the fixture to accomodate two metal baskets (sans coco liner) from the garden department. Repainted an oil rubbed bronze and, voila!, a $15 update!

And the pattern on the ceiling when it's on is just an added bonus!
