MAS MUROS DE PIEDRA

.......................................

Siempre los muros de piedra estan presentes en la decoracion rustica, pero especialmente en el estilo rustico mas actual y vanguardista.

Tanto en lajas cuadradas, rectangulares como las colocadas en finas tiras, son utilizadas en estos muros, es un material acertado ya que no necesita mantenimiento y luce siempre perfecto sobre todo con haces de luz barriendo las paredes.

I linked to these back in August, but I'm not sure how many people have actually seen them since a lot of you are new to the blog since then. Jill at Forever Cottage created these pretty pendant lights out of baskets! For more on how she did it, click here.

Make a geometric design on your lampshade with a running stitch like this one at marthastewart.com

BHG.com has some fun ideas in their Quick Change Lamps slide show. The lamp shade below was embellished with a dish towel.

You've probably seen those great lampshades that show a pretty pattern when the light is on? Marthastewart.com shows you how to make a lampshade liner to get that same effect here.
