Christmas 2011 Shade Tree!

I have been dying to show you my Christmas Shade Tree.



Yep, it's made from lampshades and It is just so fun. My hubby just  tolerates it though. I guess it's not his cup of tea, but he is kind enough and has learned to allow my creativity even though sometimes he just doesn't get it.





If you recall, earlier this summer during one of my Diamonds In The Rough! posts, I shared with you my find of several vintage lamp shades, vintage glass ornaments and a floor lamp. I promised to show you what I was planning to do with them...Here is a look back.



This post also shows you what you can do with very little money and a lot of creativity.




Vintage shades from Garage Sale,  $1.25



Vintage ornaments from garage sale, $1.




Floor lamp 50¢
This is not a tutorial, but basically, I stripped the shades down to their wire. I then used white duck cloth cut into strips and wrapped all the wire. I then used only the base of the floor lamp for my shadetree base. I put it all together, wired it for electricity and a dimmer and just hung the vintage ornaments and added the butterflies for filler. Hope you like it as much as I do.




Looking down from upstairs.







The banister is hung with greenery and vintage ornaments.



There is something homey about vintage ornaments for me.
