Let there be...

....LIGHT! I've had this idea in my head of a huge drum shade that fits snug against our 8' ceiling for the Studio. Have you priced these online?! Sheesh! Found a shade on sale (two feet across! This is Huge people!) at our local Cynthia East Fabrics store; the patterned and solid white fabrics are from Hancocks; and I followed a d.i.y. blog here to attach the shade to an ugly 'boobie' light fixture! Voila! finished in one morning! (well, Steve did the fixture and electric work the night before!)

Luckily the shade was the self adhesive kind so the application was a cinch! I plan on finishing the bottom edge with white trim (bias tape probably). WE LOVE IT! No more ducking underneath the dining chandellier!! Yeah!
