House Decorate

I put a 2×8 for the mantel with corbels I made from legs from an old table. I had the pic of the chandelier printed on engineer paper for about $10 and made a frame. It’s 3 feet by 4 feet.

She loves it! That’s all that matters. Plus, I was able to use mostly scraps on hand so it didn’t cost much. $10 for the print, $5 for buttons, $7 for material, $13 for foam. Total $35

12/25/2016 Update: I had been looking for nightstands. I found these two small dressers on craigslist. They were painted a copper/brown with mirrors on all sides. Wow does it brighten up the room.

I repainted them black. In this picture you can’t see the black of the headboard but the black nightstands really bring it together. Now we are looking for tall lamps. I’m thinking something simple with a mercury glass base.
