At the beginning six weeks seemed like a ton of time but now I think eights weeks would have been better for my One Room Challenge. However I do feel like I am making progress on my family room make over. Slow but steady progress!
After finishing my curtains (which I am loving by the way!) something seemed off. At first I was not sure what but then it dawned on me that it was the lamp shades. I still love the base but I was so over the shade!
Such an easy fix. Simply make a trip to Target and pick up two new Threshold Drum Shades. And to make things even better they were on sale. Win-win! If only painting my mirror was this simple!!!!
It might have been a small change but when I step back and look at the room as a whole I feel like it is really coming together. Progress feels great!

ReplyDeleteI agree...the new shade is perfect with the new curtains!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a massive room. It's so much fun what you can do in your space! The lamp looks great with the new shade.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing what a difference just changing a shade can make - HG is such a great resource. I love the sunlight through the curtains where you can see the pattern. Pretty!
ReplyDeleteI greatly prefer a drum shade. It really suits the shape of your lamp. The curtains are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteDrum shade is perfect and your curtains are lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous of all that space! And I love mixing lamps up every now and then :)
ReplyDeleteYour drapes look great. Lamp shades and pillows can make an incredible change in a room. I love your new drum shade - it is working perfectly. Looking forward to next week.
