Details
This is kind of old news in my house...but I had these photos and hadn't shared and
I was busy watching the weather yesterday and crouching in the hall with the dogs every time
the tornado siren went off. Because of this, I didn't get anything accomplished yesterday - at all.
So I thought I'd share this today.....
This is a detail of one of my buffet lamps in the dining room.
I've had several people write me asking about the lamps on my buffet.
I bought them at of all places Hancock Fabrics about four years ago.
These lamps originally were a much darker and speckled beige color.
I painted them my favorite white spray paint color -
Krylon Dover White, then shabby chic'd them
and wired a few crystals to each. Off came the fabric on the shades.
I wanted sconces in the dining room on either side of the doorway.
I found these sconces at Hobby Lobby. They were already painted the perfect shade of white.
Because I don't have electrical in the wall, I use battery operated candles.
I added the crystal ropes and drops.
Battery operated candles truly are a great invention.

You are so creative! I love all of your lighting and that's a great idea about the battery operated candles too.
I love how you are able to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary. :)
I always love to see pics of your home.
This is all so beautiful! Love the detail in that piece of furniture. That photo belongs in a magazine.

You are the crystal Queen. I will be spray painting a few things white soon and had no idea what was the best white and now I do. Thanks Nita.
Beautiful....as always =)
I love white too.
Have a great day
While I am sorry you got nothing done due to the tornado warnings I am glad you and all the weenies are okay. Hopefully there is no damage to your home, I understand the winds are pretty strong even if a tornado doesn't touch down.
Love all the white in your dining room.

Hello sweet lady,
I adore those lamps of yours and what I love most is that there is no fabric on the shade! You do come up with the greatest ideas.
Also the sconces are lovely, perfect for your MODVINTAGE style. I love it!
I'm so glad you are safe!!!

I'm so sorry that you are going through all of this, I'm praying for your safety and well being.
I love your lamps and even more the bare shades. The table on which they are sitting is gorgeous!
Your home is full of so many pretty, romantic looking things.
