Adding a shade to your ceiling fan & Adding a bit of whimsy to the sconces
After we finished painting Mackenzie's room and the hubby was putting the blades back on her ceiling fan, I really didn't want to put back the UGLY light fixture (globe) that went with it! So I tried out the shade that was on one of her lamps and it worked perfectly and looked sooooo much better!
I've seen this done around blogland a lot and always loved the look! The hubs just added a washer and two nuts to secure it tightly and then we added the little finial back at the end.
A much better look, don't ya think?
Moving on to the sconces over her bed...every girl loves a little zebra print! I found these cute shades in Hobby Lobby.
I even removed the fabric cord cover and replaced it with this plastic one and painted it the same color as the wall. I liked the look of the fabric one but it was a big dust collector!
Hope your all having a super weekend!!
Next up... the full room reveal!

Wow. Both look awesome, Martina. Where did you find the plastic cord covers? I like the cleaness of the covers. Have a great Sunday.
Lovely look on the ceiling fan instead of the globes. The zebra sconce is so cool too!
Have a great day!

I am looking at the ceiling fan in a whole new light now Martina... Hmmm... a shade instead of the frosted globe. I never liked the thing.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Cheers, Gee
Great update to the fan. I wish I could get rid of the last two we have, but hubby says no.
Great idea on the shade! It looks so good. I love the zebra shades on the sconce too.
Well done!
Pam
Love the shade on the ceiling fan, looks amazing and the zebra shades are way too cute. Hugs, Marty
Great idea for the ceiling fan! Ceiling fans aren't my favorite decor item, but they certainly are functional. We have three of them, and I'm going to see if a lampshade will fit on them. Thanks for the inspiration. Cute zebra shades, too.
It looks great, Martina. It's amazing how much impact even small changes can make, isn't it? xo Diana
Great idea on the shade...I want to spray the one in my sewing room to update it...I was thinking of getting new globes...this I like much better! Love the green chest too...I can't wait to see the finished room...you are so talented!!Have a happy Sunday!
Martina love this idea to add a shade to the fan!So much prettier.And those sconce shades are so chic too!Can't wait to see the reveal!

So true, ceiling fans are usually not much to look at...Both of these look great!
Can't wait to see the rest...

The shade looks wonderful! I may try that on my daughter's ceiling fan. And I love hoe you covered the cord of the sconces...brilliant!
XO,

What a great idea to pretty up the light on the fan! Love the shade. I'll have to tuck that idea away to use.
Mary Alice
Oh, I like the idea of adding a shade to the fan...and love the little zebra touches!! How cool!
Simple projects with BIG impact! Everything looks great Martina! :-)

Love the new look!!
You are just the smartest one, Martina! I love the lampshade on the ceiling fan! Are the bulbs just bare underneath or is something covering them? Love it! The little sconce is adorable and how great the plastic cover looks! You're an amazing gal and I'll bet you're tired now! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Those shades are all perfectly gorgeous! I love the looks of the one on the ceiling fan.

That shade on the fan looks terrific! And who doesn't love a little as zebra print?! Looking forward to the room reveal...I know it will be lovely.Jane
It's the little things Martina..looks great!
Hi Martina!!!!!
Great idea with using a shade instead of the globe. I always thought they were so ugly and generic.
What a great idea for the dust loving fabric and replacing it. Great choice!!
Now...The reveal....Can't wait!!!
Have a great week!!
Pam
Martina, I so want to do this! I have been thinking about it for a while, specially for the one in my bedroom. I don't like the look of the fan, but it sure comes in handy in those hot Texas summer days. You guys did a great job. Thank you for the inspiration!
Both look amazing! Great idea using the shade with the ceiling fan! :)
Genius, Martina! The added shade really "classes up" the fan, and I LOVE the sconces ... whimsical and sophisticated! I know your daughter is loving all of these fun changes in her room!
Love the shade on the ceiling fan! The zebra shades really pop! I also like how you covered the cord and painted it to match the wall!
Beautiful, I really love the look of both pieces. The ceiling fan looks wonderful with that shade, well done! XOXO ~Liz
Hi Martina, the shade softens the look of that fan. Ceiling fans are a must here in the Deep South and I have a really ugly one in my kitchen. You have inspired me. hugs, olive
I love fans! So useful during hot summer days. It's on my list to update a few with the drum shade. Looks great!
Nice looking! I have a sunroom fan we can't take down - need it in the summer. Need to add a light. Maybe a shade is the answer.
I hope you'll drop by to see My Daughter's Master Bath Redo - #83 at Met Monday.

Shades on ceiling fans are all the rage, aren't they. And I can see why - they look great! Excellent finishing touch. Can't wait to see the reveal. liz
Both shades look great.
Martina what a wonderful look for your ceiling fan and those zebra print shades on your sconces are just darling! Wishing you a wonderful week!
XO Barbara
The shade looks great on the ceiling fan. Perfect update.
What fun ideas-love Hobby Lobby!
What a smart idea, Martina. I have never seen this done! Your daughter must love her zebra lights!
Those are some great ideas with lighting! The lampshade really adds a more updated look to your ceiling fan. Those cord covers are great aren't they? I like how you used it on that wall sconce. I've used it before with cords against our baseboards.
It's one of those "why haven't I thought of that" moments!! Love the look and can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Martina! Good call on putting the shade instead of the original globe. I actually did the same thing with my ceiling fan, but I went ahead and repainted the blades too. :) Maybe you could consider painting those blades in zebra print. Haha!
