Finished!… I think

So I forgot to take pics of the lamps before we re-finished them but I got them on KSL for ten dollars as a set and they were a beautiful brass, but just didn’t really go with the colors that I had in mind…so Marcus helped me fix that problem! This last weekend we went out found a pillow, some shades(which one of the shades cost more than the 2 lamps together but oh well), and some spray paint to match and went to work! Marcus did an awesome job at painting the lamps I think they turned out just how I wanted! thanks for all your help Hun!

I am so excited for Christmas but have a hard time buying decorations for our little apartment so I try to think of little things that I can do to make it feel more like Christmas without so much stuff that I have no room to store…I thought I was being pretty creative until I look at other blogs and see crafts that you are all making and then I don’t even want to post the pic but oh well! And I love Bath and body works Winter Candy Apple sent and had to get the candle in it so that is the other helpful part of my center piece + it smells like Christmas:) MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!   p.s. thanks for the cute card Betty I love the colors and they match perfect with the candy canes!

Um...I love the lamps! And I hear you about the decorations. Making them isn't the problem, but where would you put it all for the other 11 months in the year?
