It was a good thing.
I’ll take that over dark and depressing any day!.A bright new wall is a great excuse to finally bring out my favorite Summertime vase!.
I think I’m on a roll!Now, onto that next wall!And those ugly closet doors…Last Summer, Kennedy and I had a great time making all kinds of treats during the weekdays when she was home from her various camps.
Cooking with kids is probably the greatest trick ever for a mom.First of all, it accomplishes something (Hey look!
I made dessert tonight!
), and second of all it keeps little hands and minds occupied.Plus Kennedy said no to the chevron and she pretty much has veto power in decisions involving the room at this point.
It’s her little brother, after all!.We’ve tried to make other lamps before and this was definitely our most successful attempt to date.
What we learned is that you really need to focus on how tall the lamp will be in the end and compare that to the size of shade you’d like to use.I just measured the height of another lamp in the house that had the same size of shade that I had in mind for this project and made my lamp exactly that height.
