If you look closely, you can see small hooks attached to the
circle of the fixture. I have tried adding dried herbs and flowers
from these hooks, but nothing just seemed to fit what I was looking
for. So – out came the glue gun, some black linen fabric remnants
and a few leftover yards of fringe leftover from a cornice board project.
Remember this is my breakfast hutch area where the
fixture hangs…
Don’t forget about this week’s
“What’s On Your Wall Wednesday!”
I hope you are preparing for the upcoming
“Porch and Patio Party!” on May 5th.
I think this is gonna be one fun event! I can’t wait to see everyone’s
“outdoor rooms.” There’s a special prize for particpating. Here is
the smaller logo below if you would like to add it to your sidebar.
Please make sure you stop by Between Naps on the Porch
to see all of the
Met Monday participants.
I hope you a wonderful upcoming week, and
and wish you and yours many….

Oh, I like it Barb. I think it gives the chandy a little pizazze. Your home is so full of wonderful details and I think this just adds another one. I especially love the B added to the shades. Looks great. Hugs, Marty

OK Miss Barb- Everything looks great.
I would love to participate in all of these daily activities, but I am technologically challenged with terms like linky, permalink,url.
So- I wait- till I figure it all out.

I like it Barb. Also, thanks for the heads up about Live Writer. I am enjoying using it. So much better than the built in blogger software.

Well done…I love the initial. I love your banner. The fabric is Queensland. I used to have that as my living, and dining room drapes. I have since moved, but I still have it on a camelback sofa…timeless.

You can’t go wrong with fringe and monograms.
It’s stunning! 🙂

Thank you for asking Barb! You’re the best. 🙂
We are both doing very well!
At least until today.
I tried to help my hubby with yard work and broke out soooo bad in hives.
I am covered completely on my face and arms.
I have the worlds worst allergies to everything…
Can you say ITCHY! UGH!
I hope your hubby is doing well with his recovery.

It looks unique and very fitting for your room. You are very talented to have put that together. Definitely looks like a showpiece on those furniture stores.

Your black iron rooster chandy is so pretty. I think the monograms was a good addition. Is your brain constantly creating? You always have so many good ideas. Linda

Hi Barb,
View CommentI totally love what you did with your chandelier lampshades. You can never go over the top as far as I am concerned! I especially love the finishing touch of the monograms. I will have to try that to some shades that I have. Very nice ideas! Amy 🙂

Hi Barb…
Just read your sweet note that you left in my kitchen…thank you, Darlin’…for all of your sweet compliments!
Girl…I just love that pretty rooster chandy!!! And…I love what you’ve done to it!!! I think that covering the metal shades with the linen was a great idea…it does soften the look! Ooooh…and I love the pretty red fringe that you added to the shades…I would definitely leave it! After looking at your fabulous breakfast nook photo…I think your additions to the chandy are just perfect!!! By the way, I have just fallen in love with you breakfast nook…it’s everything that I love!!! What beautiful furniture pieces you have! The red drapes are gorgeous…they look like toile? I was really admiring your pretty floral arrangement on the table too…so beautiful!!! And…ohhh my, all of that red transferware collection…well, just wished you could hear all of the Ooohing and Aaahing over here at my place right now!!! Ohh yes…I think your newly decorated chandy is just perfect in this beautiful room! Love those initials too!!!
Have a marvelous Monday, Sweetie!
