Really..... $1 floor lamp???

You are not going to believe this! I went to Kirkland's earlier today looking for a floor lamp for the seating area in our room. Remember I told you I didn't want the T.V in our room and instead I wanted a seating area? Well its coming a long great! The floor lamps are beautiful at Kirkland's but the prices are not right for me at these moments. I was hoping to find a good deal, but the deal was not there. I was a little disappointed but I knew I would find something quick.

Oh boy oh boy... did it come quick! I took a trip to the Goodwill store and look what I found! This not so beautiful lamp with a lot of potential. I immediately thought " I could paint it, and cover the lamp shade with a pretty fabric etc... In matter of seconds I had everything planned out how I wanted it. So I check the price, and guess what.... the price was right! It was originally $7.99 / Week 14 tag. Today all week 14 tags were .99 cents! I quickly put it in the shopping cart. My husband was laughing at how funny it looked "driving" a shopping cart with a 5 1/2 tall lamp! ha.. I laughed at myself too!

I also found this pretty fabric (1 1/2 yd) for 1.99. It is beautiful!

How to cover lampshade:

I measured the lampshade and cut the fabric according to size.
I used spray adhesive (it works great)
I adhered the fabric to the lampshade and smoothed it out as much as I could. The fabric is kind of wrinkly!
I hot glued the fabric to the top and bottom of the lampshade.. and shazammm.. I had a beautiful elegant lampshade.

Its very simple! You should try it!

I took the lamp outside and gave it a little makeover with spray paint! I love spray paint! I choose "Espresso" color. Its like a rich chocolate color.

The middle part of the lamp started bubbling and I did not like how it was turning out as it dried. So I cut a long strip of the same fabric as the lampshade and glued it down.

Here is a close up of the lampshade. Isn't it beautiful? I love it!

Here is the final piece! So.. what do you think? Its amazing that spray paint and fabric can do so much! It looks like a brand new lamp!

I am still not done with the seating area but I just couldn't wait to show you how great it is looking.

Thanks!

Our new master bedroom....

I know.. I took a long break.. I really needed this break. There was just so much going on, I needed some time off. I'm glad I am back!

Well this weekend we finally bought our bedroom set. I am so happy! Don't get me wrong. I love my round bed, but our master bedroom wasn't complete. I needed a change. Our round bed is in our guest bedroom now. Next project, decorating our guest bedroom! :)

I bought a beautiful frame for our 1 year anniversary pictures. It was perfect for all of our pictures. I decided to place the frame on the wall before entering our bedroom. I think it looks beautiful. I do need more decoration though!

I had a few blank spots and decided to decorate with scrapbook paper. You never go wrong with scrapbook paper. I love how it turned out!

Here is the entrance to our bedroom. I really do feel like a queen in this room. I feel very calm and relaxed when I am in my room.

Four poster bed! Yeahhhh.. I love it! I've always wanted a four poster bed. It looks so elegant and different. The colors look perfect! Two things I will be working on this weekend: buying pillows ( I love pillows) and adding a nice seating area in place of t.v.

My nightstand! haha.. I am still working on decoration. What do you think about decor? Too simple? Too much?

I needed to incorporate my 105 year old books in our room. Aren't they lovely? I bought a set of 13 books.

One of my favorite photos we took for our 1st year anniversary! Its so Vogue! ha..

I am in love with my curtains! It reminds me of Beauty and the Beast. Belles dress?!!

This is the area I will be working on this weekend. I dont like having a t.v in our room. I would love to have a reading area with a nice floor lamp and baskets with books. I think I have the perfect chair for this area.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at the pictures. If you have any ideas, comments, suggestions anything please let me know! I'd love to know what you think!

I told you I was going to share some pictures we took for our anniversary, so here you go! Enjoy!

Just a little something....

I'm exhausted. The last two days we have spent it mostly at the hospital. Valerie had her c-section yesterday. It was tough for her and the rest of the family. She did get a little panic attack before going to the operating room and they needed to calm her down. Everything went well. We had the chance to keep the baby for one day. He was handsome! I wanted to share this picture that I took yesterday. This is Valerie holding her son's hand. He weighed 3 lbs. 11 oz. -- 16 inches. He was so beautiful. I will never forget his little face. I love him so much! Please keep praying for Valerie and her family. We will be going to the hospital tonight to spend some time with Valerie and her family.

I wanted to share this cute project I did a while back. This is my pencil holder I have next to my computer. It turned out so cute. Again, you cant go wrong with pink and brown!

This is the hair bow holder I did for Stacey. She won my "Hair Bow Holder Giveaway". The colors she choose are awesome! I love the color combination. I was glad I had the perfect ribbon to match the bow holder! Its so cute!

Several weekends ago we found these beautiful items at a yard sale.

This first item we bought it for only $5! Yep, 5 buckaroos! The family we bought it from used it to hang coats. As you can see in the second picture, the back board had hangers.

Now let me tell you the story how it fell apart. We kept this beautiful piece in our backyard since I still needed to paint. This afternoon I walk outside to take some nice pictures to post and what do you know; my beautiful piece laying on the ground, the backboard laying next to it broken and the glass door, all shattered! Last week was really windy! So windy, it knocked this piece straight to the ground! Good thing that its still ok. I will have to figure out how to fix it. What do you think about this piece? Im thinking of making it into a giant jewelry organizer! haha.. I have that much jewelry!

We bought this beautiful metal art for $2. Its beautiful! I loved it! Today my husband and I, hung this metal art in our bedroom!

What do you think? You cant really tell, but it looks much better in person. This little trick made the ceilings look higher. It looks awesome! Our master bedroom is coming along beautiful!

We bought these for $5. I still don't know where to place them! I'm thinking placing these on the sides of our mirror in our bedroom. I guess we will see how it works out.
Well, I hope you've enjoyed todays post. Thank you so much for visiting!

Who has a round bed???

We do!!! :) It is 7 ft in diameter and its the most comfortable bed I have ever owned! My husband is 6'1 and he sleeps so comfortable. No back pain, we sleep all night and take long naps! The only bad thing is, it has no headboard and cant seem to find a nice bedding set for our bed. Actually, we have no bedding set. I once found a web page where they do custom bedding but it came out to be more than $500! :0 I understand its custom, but it was way too much money to pay.

I've been reading a lot of blogs, and I am really motivated to start organizing my house and decorating. I am doing a great job!

I really want to share this idea because it was inexpensive, easy and it turned out very nice!

Yesterday, I found an old bed skirt in my house. I think it was a full. I loved the colors and the design. It goes with our master bedroom decorations.

I cut the bed skirt all the way around. I had a long strip of fabric.

This is our round bed! :) The green sheet is the one that came with the bed. This will definetely be my next project, dying the sheet to match our room! How fun!

I placed the bed skirt all the way around our bed. To tell you the truth, it only went maybe 3/4 around the bed! haha.. but come on, who is going to see the back? You cant even tell! Well, now you will know! I tried using the staple gun, but it wouldn't work. So I had to use what any other crafty girl would use, the magical glue gun! Yes, I used a glue gun to glue the bed skirt to the bed sofas! Hey, it worked perfectly!

Here is a close up of the pattern of the bed skirt. I love it!

Here is the final picture I took after putting the bed skirt and the round mattress. The next step is to dye the bed sheet and buy more pillows!

This is the style I am going for. I will try to finish this project this weekend! Wish me luck! Pictures coming soon!
