The Boy's Bedroom

I have wanted to change out the light fixture in the boy's bedroom for awhile. I wanted to use a drum shade light fixture, but hadn't been able to find one in town. Anchorage doesn't really stay abreast of the fashion trends. I had looked on online, but wasn't able to find one that would ship to Alaska.  So, I decided to make my own. I spray painted a white drum lampshade, Valspar Satin Indigo Streamer,and added two rows of brown ribbon to the top. Then I used floral wire to hang it to the existing light bulb outlet (I have no idea what the correct term is for that). Having used it now for a week or so, I like it.

Sorry that the pictures aren't that good. It's been raining and cloudy for the last couple of days. After taking pictures a couple of different times, these were the best I could get. There will be more changes in the fall. I am looking at different bed options. We will need three beds in there now. My husband wants bunk beds, I do not. I can foresee someone falling off the top and breaking a arm, with my kids. I also HATE making bunk beds and they are still to little to make their own beds. So, we will see what we end up with in this room.
