project: fabric & ribbon chandelier

since returning home

my friend heather has inspired & really challenged me to think out of the box

throughout the past three weeks, shes really pushed me

to do things around the house that i've always thought about, wanted to do, but just didnt quite know how...

its been so fun coming up with ideas and solutions

a true pal that heath is

we have a nook/corner part of our living room that has always given me a bit of trouble

with heather's insight and the help of some design blogs

we came up with some crafty new ideas to make a reading nook

i moved our rocking chair, added a side table, lamp and

adorned it with a fabric & ribbon chandelier

[photos from the 'creation process' shown below]

using basic items for the frame

white wire hangers & floral wire to fasten the two together

gathered fabric, ribbon, string

cutting the fabric into strips

tying each strip onto the wire frame

hangin it up

and now to enjoy our little reading nook!

    

its a work in progress!
