Welcome to my Sunday and welcome to my living room. Our day started off early by getting together with Derek's family for brunch and then saying our good-bye's after they were in town for the weekend.
Messy, needed to be washed hair, next-to-no make up and barefoot. I'm okay with Sundays. I do have to point out the Astrology Fringe Kimono Top that I ordered from Hot Topic. I've been finding kimono's are the way I've been dealing with the summer heat/humidity when I'm not in work clothes. Cotton dress, kimono top and flats have been the uniform.
These photos were a random idea on Sunday (while I was sipping on wine) to show our new-to-us lamps that I have completed.
The tassels came with the lamps: BONUS!!! LOL!
I bought the pair of lamps and lamp shades at a consignment shop and DIY-ed the lamp shades. I wanted a richer (and more tacky) appearance to the lamps, so I added the black panne velvet fabric panels and black/gold trim. I have seen vintage velvet lampshades go for hundreds of dollars and well...I'm too thrifty to fork out that kind of dough. Haha! Though I love our mid century modern lamps, I wanted something to add more vintage Hollywood Regency to the living room and I'm very happy!
I really love home decor and seeing our home evolve with every new idea and/or treasure we find!
Thank you for reading!
