I just couldn't take the yellow glow any more. Remember how I showed you the bad yellow glow that the gold foil shades created in my dining area - - -
Yes, they really did make this room look yellow in a really eeerrrrry sort of way.
So much better, don't you think? No yellow glow.
I loved the look of the black shades, and these with the cream liners work. I get the look and also get the right kind of light when they are turned on.
Ok, I am really tired of shades for a while, so now on to new projects.
I am thinking Holiday and have a ton up my sleeve, so on to bigger and better.
Be sure to get all of your projects lined up for Inspire Me Tuesday. Party goes live this afternoon at 3 PM CMT. Can't wait to see you there.
I am joining the following parties:
Very pretty! :)

ReplyDeleteYes it does look so much better. You could always put the other shades back up for halloween since they have that erry golden look. HA! HA! HA!
ReplyDeleteMarty, you do such a great job of paying to attention to detail. I think the new shades are better. Now, the whole room looks fantastic! I would like to invite you and your readers to see my photos from Provence and my "French" Autumn wreath on my blog at: simplysantabarbara.blogspot.com
