Chicken Wire Office Light

We were out thrifting a few weeks ago and saw this poor light that was just so darn ugly!  When I put it up on the check stand to pay, the lady looked at me like I was, well insane.  She was probably thinking in her head I wonder what this lady's house looks like.  Hahahaha.  It was put in our storage area with some other lights that are waiting for their chance to shine! ;) Today I went on a bit of a rampage organizing and cleaning our office.  This space was so cluttered, dark and very unwelcoming and it wasn't a used space.  We needed a light but didn't want to have to hassle with electrical work.  That's when I remembered the ugly covered shade.

I first cut all the material off, scraped all the hot glue off and spray painted it in aluminum, it was white and stood out like a sore thumb. After it dried I wrapped some good ole chicken wire around it and had the hubs drill some holes for hooks and viola, we have a light that I love! I know for a fact that I will be using this office/craft room a lot more.  I am going to post more pictures of the new organized office/craft room when my paperwork that is sitting on the floor gets filed in our new filing cabinets. 

Reason number 999 on why to not buy a new home and to find one that we all pin on Pinterest!  Builders don't  put lights in, they put switches to an outlet. Which makes a ton of sense, I bet 100% of people use lights.  :)  Oh well I guess if they had put a light here this beauty wouldn't be hanging.  I am so happy with this room!  

Hope you all have a wonderful week! 

Charmed, I'm Sure

In addition to all the home decor items we refinish and sell we also have added a line of Charms/Necklaces.  The charms come with a lobster clasp that can be hooked to a necklace, a key chain, a zipper, or to your favorite purse or jacket. All charms are hand soldered so no two charms are exactly the same. 

Every girl, woman, mother, wife, daughter, sister, grandma, etc. should be charmed. Who doesn't love BLING in their life? I know I do… and I love that I can buy individual charms that are meaningful to me.

I constantly get compliments on how unique my necklace is! All charms can be customized to your liking. 

If you are in the Denver area come check them out at Rustic Ranch off of Wadsworth in Broomfield, CO or email me and we can set up a fun at home show!

If you are not located in the Denver Metro area, I would be more than happy to work with you on getting a charm/necklace.

Cheers to Being Charmed!

 

Time for New Beginnings

I have made a resolution to post at least 4-5 times per week!  No one wants to follow someone who never has anything to say.  So from my family to you I hope 2011 is the year you have the courage to do the things you've dreamed about and to live life to the fullest!  The end of 2010 blessed us going into a local favorite shop of ours and we are so excited for what this year holds! Happy New Year!

You must do the things you think you cannot do.
