One Light, Four Ways Giveaway!

Hello, and thanks for coming back to see my custom 

Rejuvenation light fixture

. In case you missed it, there are four of us

designing our own light fixture

s

. Here is my custom light.

It is lit with

this LED bulb

. That means the kids can forget to turn it off, and I won't get mad. #teenagers

Remember how the space started.

You can read about my

pillow puzzle here

 and you can find my

rug and Kantha quilt sources here

.

For the fixture, I chose the large

Merchant shade in unlacquered brass

. That way, she can age gracefully...wish I could say the same for moi.

I wrapped the cord with a nautical twisted rope. I bought it at a boating store, but I am sure you can find this stuff at a big hardware store. 

The tutorial for this toggle

can be found here

.

The view from my entry feels connected.

The pretty flower shot.

And now for the GIVEAWAY!!

Rejuvenation

is giving away a $100. gift certificate to one lucky reader.

You can use it for anything Rejuvenation sells. I am sure my savvy readers checked out the site last week.....and even practiced

custom designing a fixture

of your own. I am guessing you know how you would use this if you win?

If it were me, I would definitely consider

these brass locks

for my windows.

My husband would love a pair of

these hooks

in his closet.

Or a couple of

wire baskets

so the kids could throw their shoes in it.

Embroidery.....Frame them, or Stuff them?


I have six vintage pieces of embroidery that I picked up on Ebay many years ago. They are obviously meant to be a set of dining room chair covers. I could never understand how it was chic to sit on someone's hard work? Since I only have three patterns with repeats....I'm not sure if I should hang them....or stuff them?






I like the organic feel when they are on the wall

Do you have a preference? Do I break up the set?  I think I am leaning toward framing.

I am also giving an organizing tip at Living Savvy. Come on by and see how I like to keep my sewing supplies organized.
