50 Favorites for Friday #211

Thank you all for the nice comments here and on Facebook about my dining room updates. I always appreciate your opinions and feedback.

A few of you asked about the monogrammed lamp shades below:

Here is a super quick tutorial:

1. Buy sticky-back felt at Michaels or other craft store. It's in the kid's craft section and comes in various colors in 8x11 sheets (here is the first one I found online).

2. Print and cut out your monogram or letters (here is a good and free monogram generator where you pick your size and font).

3. Trace the cutout letters onto the back of the felt, cut them out, and stick them to the shades.

4. I also glued black ribbon along the top and bottom.

See how easy?!

Onto the 50 Favorites - have a great weekend everyone:

Look what I learned how to do! 

I'm not sure if this Gif will autoplay in an email, but it will on the blog:

Another Dining Room Update

So I didn't get to the daytime photos, but I took 8 million photos to get these ten decent ones tonight.   I'm still not over the pain and annoyance of hanging the crystals, but I am loving the look (although more so in person because I don't like how most of the photos all look too warm/yellowish).  The light is HERE.

Thanks for following along with me!

And I wanted to show you this - I just saw this holiday line at Terrain and am blown away by how beautiful it is:
