Light Fixtures for a Dollar Each!

I can't believe my luck yesterday at the Lowes!  They are clearancing out all their light fixtures and are pretty much giving them away.  I scored these three beauties for a grand total of $ 3.25 with tax.

They are negotiating prices on them because they really want them gone.  Also, the floor models are cheaper, however they do have a ton of stuff still in boxes as well.

This Chandelier is going in my room.

 

                                                       

We have been needing a new light in the hallway.  As you can see the on on the left is the new one and the one on the right is our current hall light. 

And this is going in the living room

That is total saving of more than 100 dollars.  

Making Pillows

I have been gradually working on making over my room for the past few months.  Before, I had this dreadful dark brown walls (which unfortunately I had picked out for myself).  However, I finally did something about it and since then I have been working on spicing things up a bit.

I fixed up the painting that you saw in the previous post.  And  today I made some pillows out of a pattern that I followed at http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2008/09/petal-pillow-tutorial.html.

While I am at it I'll show you how it all looks together in the room so far.
