A new store just opened up in our quaint little city of Glendora, Ca.
Knot Too Shabby Furnishings is located in the heart of Downtown Glendora just across the street from Blue Chair books one of our families favorite spots! The owner of
Knot Too Shabby is a friend of mine and she asked me months ago if I would like to add some of my "Savvy Crafty-ness" to her already booming Shabby-ness. Well of course I jumped at the chance of "going green"!
As you have seen in previous posts I love taking vintage furniture and making it new by painting it and/or adding designer fabrics to give pieces a new updated look. With
The Sew N Sew just downtown as well my favorite little sewing and quilting shoppe to get the best fabrics in town to make some one of a kind "Savvy" peices it's a win-win situation!
"Sew" what did I decide to do????? Well a myriad of fun stuff of course! Here is the before and after of a couple lamp shades.
I picked up 2 of these large shades at a yard sale, pretty plain jane don't you think? This is what I did to them:
This is a beautiful turquoise and black/brown Damask print with velvet trim in the center and pom pom fringe at the bottom.
This one is from a cute Michael Miller fabric with vintage kids, trimed in red and white. Simple and adorable for any kids room!
But you know me...matchy matchy as I am! I had to do something for both of these items for accessories.
I spray painted this frame, added the matching trim and then the jeweled butterfly. I also put some of the fabric in the frame but it can be changed out for your own personal photo!
The chair is a perfect match to the lamp shade! Simply gorgous!
I don't have a before photo of this lamp shade but it is a simple design, one you have all scene before I'm sure. This one I am afraid to say is SOLD it went the next day after being put in the shop!
This one was oh so fun to do! This was also a yard sale find, the beading at the bottom was already there and I wanted to keep it. I added the leopard print, the trim and yes, that's Ostrich feather there that I use sometimes in my hair bow making! Beautiful don't you think? Here is the accessory for that one:
A beautiful thrift store find that got a make over with some paint, velvet trim and some bling!
Here is one more goodie! The photo isn't very good but it's a lamp shade with flowers all over!
All in all there are quite a few more items at
Knot Too Shabby that I brought in. I also made some pillowcase dresses made out of Vintage pillowcases. And many other fun things! Stop by say hello to Michele and tell her Brandy sent you!
