Ambiance

 
 
The   lighting  sets the mood...
Decorating with "lights" really can set the tone for the whole room...
creating an atmosphere
of
r o m a n c e.
I happen to think that a romantic look in every room is beautiful...
but perhaps the bedroom
is the most obvious place for it.
I love tea-lights and candles
and there are so many ways to make that happen in the bedroom.
 
 
A hanging tea-lite holder 
alongside some dried roses
creates a soft, yet tender light.


 
Subdued lighting in the bedroom is welcome.
I have a chandy that only allows a low light,
so it's perfect for the bedroom.
I love the softness of light it gives in here.
A bedside lamp with a brighter light
is always available for brighter light to read.


 
 
And of course, a chandy in the living room
is irresistable ;)
Perfectly shabby...
such a beautiful way to add pretty lighting.

A beautiful light can add so much to a room.

Hooked

 
 
I promised to show you my shabby chic homemade
painted board and hook when I had it hung.
Well, it's been hung for quite some time..
it's just me who's been busy ;)
 
I love these creations,
and how useful they can be.
I am using this one for my dried roses,
and some necklaces,
along with
some snowflakes.
Hmmm maybe time to change the snowflakes...I'm thinking  s p r i n g!
;)
 
 
Soon I will begin to make some more...
I'd love to try a light turquoise or aqua.
I'll be keeping my eye out for some unique hooks.
There's no place that your home can't benefit from these...
the bedroom, living room, bathroom, hallway, workshop...you name it!
 
They're so easy!
A piece of old wood, some paint,
a few hooks,
and a screwdriver.
I love easy projects!
Decorating 101
Lol
