DIY Shabby Chic Chandelier

I've been having a lovely time transforming Lovebug's nursery into a "big girl" room over the past few weeks. Last week's project was a tea table for her room, and this week was a Chandelier! I found this fabulous brass chandelier at Re-Store in town for $55 and then walked on over to Lowes and purchased a $4 can of white mulit-purpose spray paint. When I got the chandelier home, I removed the bulbs and shades and sprayed the entire chandelier with the white spray paint. I opted not to primer the fixture first because I wanted a little bit of the brass to show a tiny bit in random spots. As the spray paint was drying, I wrapped the outside of the shades with pink organza ribbon and embellished it with pearls. I wrapped the chandelier arms with pearls and trimming and added pearls and artificial flowers to the base of the fixture for some dimension as well as some hanging crystals...just to fancy it up a bit! :)

Britax B-Ready Stroller

One word for this stroller....AMAZING! This stroller is fully functionable for a mom with one child or with two. I have been planning on ordering the Phil and Ted Explorer as we plan for a second child (God willing), but since being introduced to the Britax B-Ready, I am sure that IT will be our family's next new set of wheels! The Britax B-Ready has all of the capabilities of the Phil and Ted, with its slim and compact design, BUT WITH A WHOLE LOT MORE! View the link below to see what I am talking about. Not only is this stroller the most versitle that I've seen, it is also made by a brand that I know and TRUST with my child's safety! Britax makes one of the top child safety seats.

FAVORITE FANCY FINDS

This week's Favorite Fancy Find is Scentsy burners and scents. I am burning "Beach" in my house right now and it smells amazing!!! It lasts for hours and smells up my entire house, upstairs AND down! **Note: I have found that if I only put two cubes in my counter burner and only one in my plug in burner, the fragrance is stronger. Also, be sure to change out your cubes every 20 hours or so.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"Our Children arrive exactly as they are designed. There was no mistake here. They are a direct and unmistakable gift from God. He has given us children capable of copious amounts of unconditional love because we haven't been open to receiving the more indrenct ways He's been showering it on us for the previous years of our lives." ~Courtney Heigele
