Ceiling Stunners

Howdy!  I'm back from a nice Thanksgiving weekend in Salt Lake City, where I froze my buns off so thoroughly, I'm pretty sure they fell off in one icy chunk somewhere on south Temple Street. Ha ha, I wish! My buns are most certainly still here and will be spending some quality time on the treadmill this week.



Did you have a great Thanksgiving?  (or regular ol' weekend if you don't live in America?)   Have you fully shaken off your turkey coma?   If not, here's a zinger of a makeover to help wake you up from Jennifer at Dimples and Tangles.  



Tired of the boring fans in her home but unhappy with anything she found in the store, she decided to make do with what she had!  The first fan she simply taped off and painted the stripes with craft paint, and the second fan is modge-podged fabric! Jennifer reports that both have held up just fine against everyday use.   (See the entire room makeover from the chevron fan HERE).

Bowling Alley Bar to Pottery Barn

Where I grew up, there was about only one fun thing to do, and that was to go to the bowling alley.  And the bowling alley wasn't even close by, it was like an hour away.  And inside the bowling alley was this seedy bar that seemed like such a mysterious place to me.  It was always dark and smelled gross, and no kids were allowed, but there were darts! And pool tables!



And what any of that has to do with today's redo is this: when I look at this old light fixture, I think of that bowling alley bar.  Not the first thing you want people to think when they walk inside your house.  Or even the second thing or third thing.  But somehow Christy saw potential here and whipped that thing into non-outdated-bar-fixture shape.  Beautiful! 



See it on her blog This From That.
