Hope all are having good weekend! Yesterday, the girls had a playdate with another pair of identical twins we met last week. They hit it off and it was so so nice chatting with a twin mom. We may get the girls together again this morning and then we go to a friends house to watch some football later this afternoon. I guess it is an important game...football is not my thing. HAHA I also really need to list a few things on Facebook Market Place. The key is to price it just right. Below are a helpful article and items I bought and loving!
My yard is a mess because of the storm. I have lots of clean up to do and in need of some plant removal. Here a great link with "to do" list by region.
I am obsessed with these boots and would make a beautiful additions to my " English country" look for winter.
Are you like me and start "spring cleaning" in January? Here are two great articles to help you get declutter and do a deep clean of your home.
I bought these kids knives for the girls to help in the kitchen. They have been great and the girls are way more into trying food when they are a part of the process of cooking!
I have been shopping the winter sales and could not pass up these boots!
Have the most wonderful and relaxing Sunday!
Each year I add a little to my already existing Christmas decor. My look is traditional. I have incorporated our Scottish clans tartan though out the house and now that includes the sconces which was this years project. I am so incredibly happy with the way they turned out!
I bought inexpensive chandelier shades for my sconces throughout the foyer, over my fireplace and up the staircase and covered them in Stewart Tartan. It was fairly easy to do. I would like to add I did not cover the shade at a professional level considering they would only be up one month out of the year. I simple traced the shade on its side making a pattern, cut out the fabric then used the glue gun to glue the top and bottom rim of the shade. I added a braided trim to the top and bottom to give it a finished look.
I found a tutorial on Pinterest and you can find it here. The one I found is far more finished looking. I did not finish the edges just covered up the raw fabric edge with the braided trim.
Below is an Idea Pin I created for Pinterest to help you create your own swag for a sconce.
