Janell from Isabella & Max shares how she found the perfect shade for some vintage lamps to go in her daughter’s room. She even gives tips on how to shop for the shade. Love her.
If you didn’t spend 5 hours reading every entry over the weekend, I’ll give you a few highlights. The creativity was inspiring, from scrapbook paper, using a skirt as a shade, revamping vintage lights, colander lighting, photo shopping for ideal recovering solutions, polka dot lamp shades, I could go on and on. And I will.

Winner for Most Creative:
Kelly got super sassy and wanted a chandelier but didn’t want to spend much money. She bought a planter basket, filled it with pink Christmas lights and wired her extension cord to the box. GENIUS! I asked Kelly to tell us simpletons exactly how she did this…
I just used an extension cord- cut it to the length I needed and pulled apart the 3 wires (usually white, black and a green ground) Then in your electrical box on the wall or ceiling just twist together the matching colored wire and cover with wire nuts. Oh and make sure the power is off. HA! That is it! Easy Peasy.

Over the next few weeks my family will be moving to our new place. My online presence will be limited although I’ll still be posting and reading each comment, I won’t be able to respond to comments and emails like I normally do. I cannot wait to play in my new nest and share it all with you! You make moving not only bearable, but fun and something I’m actually really looking forward to! Thank you for sharing in our adventures!
