There is another website I follow (younghouselove.com) where Sherry, one of the owners of the site has issued a challenge to actually make something that we've found on Pinterest. If you want to see what she did, you can click here, and the other friends/bloggers that are doing it with her here, here & here.
This weekend I made a Ribbon chandelier and for M's room with pink, blue, and green ribbon and she LOVES it! I must admit, I'm a little jealous.. but it'd probably be overkill to have one hanging in every bedroom, so I'll just keep hunting for a great idea to makeover the light fixture in the master bedroom.
Sherry at younghouselove.com is who I actually got this project idea from, and she hung hers to cover a bare bulb in her daughters large closet. I decided to leave the current light fixture, because removing it shows that the fixture was up before the painters actually painted the whole house - and I didn't feel like mess with white, tan and pink rings around the light. I used a 14 inch metal hoop (found in the 'dream catcher' supplies at Hobby Lobby) and hot glued the different ribbons to it. I put 3 hooks in the ceiling around the light and wham-o. instant cuteness!
Oh, and I realize that I never posted pictures of M's big birthday room makeover, but I don't have those pictures, so it'll have to wait. :)
I must admit I'm REALLY loving Pinterest and all the amazing ideas I'm finding! I'll probably be posting more projects as I get them done.
Does anyone else have any great DIY craft ideas for me? Art for the guestroom/office? That's where my head is at currently. And how to decorate my mantle for autumn- on the cheap.
