ENTRY WAY DECOR from Pier 1- my fave store.




Brighten up your room with shapes when the lights are out!


Brighten up plain shades with a pretty lining that comes to life when you flip the switch. To construct one: Wrap your shade in kraft paper, as shown below. Using a pencil, mark the top and bottom edges and where the paper's ends meet. Cut out the template. Trim 1/8 inch from the top and bottom edges. With a pencil, trace the template onto decorative paper (if you need to use more than one sheet, align the design). Cut out the liner. Working in sections, attach liner to the inside of the lampshade along top and bottom edges and to the seam using double-sided tape. Make sure to use a 40-watt bulb or lower.

This would be such a cool accent table, and you could do any color. You could do a brownish table with gold leaves, or red leaves, or green leaves..... you could do a RED table with gold leaves, or black leaves, orange leaves, or a deeper or lighter red, a purple table with gold or black leaves, or red.... the list is endless, but I love the electric blue and gold, it makes me want to create another room just around that table and those colors.




Houdini wasn't the only one who could work magic using a length of chain. Read on for an easy way to conjure the stylish illusion of a space-saving suspended shelf with showstopping appeal.




Tools & Materials
Drill
Floating shelf
Four 2-inch loop hooks*
Plumb bob*
Screw anchors*
Decorative chain* (based on your measurements)

*Available at hardware stores

Shelf How-To
1. Drill holes in the shelf's two outer corners, 1 inch in from both edges. (The holes should be slightly smaller than the screw ends of the loop hooks.) Screw a hook into each hole.

2. Attach shelf to the wall, following the manufacturer's instructions.

3. Dangle a plumb bob -- or a house-key tied to a length of string -- from the ceiling until the tip just touches the loop hooks in the shelf. Mark the ceiling there and drill holes for screw anchors, tapping them in with a hammer. Screw in two remaining hooks.

4. Measure the distance from ceiling hooks to shelf hooks, and purchase (or cut) two lengths of chain to fit.

5. Hang the lengths of chain between each pair of hooks, and step back to revel in your own sleight of hand.
