Wow Us Wednesdays #55

Wow, it is our weekly party time again. So many great links last week. Here are just a few.

This pallet project is amazing by The Hell on Heels Housewife. 

I just have to share my sister's new lights. I really love this pendant light. Check them out at The Essence of Home.

Brandi shared this wonderful pillow that she made for her sister. 

Now here is a great idea for all those saved pennies. Check out how this was done at My Covered Bridge.

Look at this beautiful lavender shortbread . Plaits and Paisley shares the recipe.

Vickie at Ranger 911 shares this adorable chandy for outdoors that she made with everything

she already had on hand. This would be so cute on a deck or hanging from a tree. Of course she had to share pics of it in the snow.

Look at this vibrantly colorful room. Sophia's Decor shares the desk makeover for her daughter. So cute.

Love this chair transformation by Haverford House. You should see the before.

Tracy of Tracy's Trinkets and Treasures shared her son's closet doors transformation with chalkboard paint.

Bling

I told you in the master bath post that I was still working on the chandelier over the tub. Well, yesterday I found what I was looking for to finish it.

Let's start at the beginning with an old shot of how the chandy did look.

I used to have the shades on it which are really bad dust collectors. So off those came.

Next thing I did was take the brown metal candle sleeves off and replaced them with these resin sleeves. Funny thing is I did this step several weeks ago and then I was looking at my blog friend, Martina's blog Northern Nesting and she was sharing the same thing she had done to her chandy. I am telling you we were joined at the hip at some point. We do so many things the same way.

Here is the look of the chandy with the new sleeves. This alone was a huge change.

I still wanted something more than just the sleeves changed. It needed some bling.

Martina had also added some crystal bling to her chandy and I told her she was doing the same thing I was to mine and that I just needed to order the crystals. Well, the kindness of bloggers literally blows me away because she emailed me and told me she had some leftover crystals and that she would send them to me if I wanted them. I offered to buy them from her and she would not let me. She is just too sweet. Thank you, Martina! She sent the large ones you see hanging.

I still wanted more bling and yesterday when I was walking through a local antique mall I found the strands of glass beads. They are five inches long and came two in a pack for $3.70. I bought six packages and brought them home and added them.

 Bam, there is that extra bling it needed. I am loving the new look. I really would love to replace the dark colored glass parts with clear ones some day when I can get the mister to take it apart and add them, but for now this works fine.

Night shot.

Now I just need to get a dimmer switch added to the lights in here. It is blindingly bright.

Thanks so much for all your comments on the bathroom.

Can't wait to see what you have to share at "Wow" tonight!

Jewelry giveaway still going here. Don't miss out. Winner chosen Thursday.

The Master Bath

I was going to wait till we painted the bathroom cabinets before revealing the new look in here, but it may be a few more weeks before those are done. Trying to let Mr. Savvy's back heal some more before we sand and paint the doors. I want him to spray them with his paint sprayer that he uses on his old cars.

The new wall color is the same color I have in the nautical guest room. It is Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. I was afraid it might look dark, but it turned out perfectly. I am also waiting on two new rugs from Joss & Main to come in.

Here is the before look. The walls were Saybrook Sage by BM paint and I never did like it. It was too brown looking in here.

Ah, the new color is lighter, brighter and just plain fresher. You can see I changed the art and items on top of the newly painted hutch. All these things were brought from other places in the house.

I like the mix of contemporary and vintage.

I opened the hutch doors so you can see what I have placed inside. A few towels up top along with a piece of coral, a shell, and a jar of cotton balls. Other towels are stored below.

I love the color and finish of the inside.

I filled the silver revere bowl with natural loofahs.

These items did not change.

Here is a before of the artwork over the bath tub area.

I decided to place my huge bird picture in here. I think the size and colors are perfect in here.

Vignette in the corner below the bird print with a sea fan, candlestick, and bowl of soaps.

Here is a peak at the chandelier which I made some changes to, but will share a closer look at it another time. Still working on it.

The clock has been moved from beside the tub to over the door to the bedroom. This is so Mr. Savvy won't be late for work. Of course he won't fire himself if he is.

The old globes on the lights were a yellowish color, which you can't tell with them turned on, but believe me they were. They made everything look yellow including me.

I replaced them with clear seeded glass globes and boy oh boy what a difference. Our old eyes need this bright light. We can see good in here now.

And there you have it until we paint the cabinets.

Bit That Bullet Again

It wasn't too big of a bite. Just a little one. I have had my eye on this wonderful old copper mold on ebay for weeks. I really didn't want to fork out $48 for it, but I succumbed and did. I am glad I did, too. This mold is huge.

I brought it in the sun room just to take some pictures in good light. 

See how big it is? I love the aged patina. So much better than the shiny new ones.

Looks like it was well used, too. Nice and black inside.

This side view shows how deep it is. This would make a cool cake, but it will just hang on the wall.

Do you see where the copper is turning green? Gotta love it.

I have moved some pieces around and placed it on this kitchen wall. This is a great find to add to my collection. Now, if I only had more walls for when I find more.

Don't miss my jewelry giveaway here.

Have a wonderful week!
