Then I added the jute. It looked MUCH better.
After that was done I punched a hole in the bottom part of the container with scissors and put my new "lamp shade" on the top.
Eventually, I will put something like sand in the bottle and will wire it to actually be a working lamp. For now, it sits in my dining area with the sole purpose of looking nice.
Which, if you ask me, is needing a bit more help in the decorating aspect. The mismatching wood of the dining set and my "hutch" really don't help set a theme. :) I am thinking about painting them but am unsure of what colors to go with. I know that the finish will be "distressed" to give it some character but I will have to give it some more thought I think. Plus, that huge open space above the "hutch" is... well... HUGE... and BARE. I have been wanting a really big mirror to go there but haven't been able to go thrifting yet... sigh.
My sister, the crafty one!! Jonathan and I like the color of your table and hutch as they are. All wood matches to us. But I guess sometimes I wear mismatched socks so I don't know if my opinion counts. lol -britt
