As I told you last week I decided to redecorate my

family room. For some reason I have been wanting

a black and white room, but not to contemporary.

Then I have been watching the news and hearing

about all the problems people are having even

keeping their homes. Along with watching planet

green I started to think. So I challenged myself, the

challenge was if I wanted to redecorate I had to use all

recycled things or at least make it a goal to use at least

80% recycled things. So here is my attempt to this point.

I got these lamp shades at GW for .50 each. The material is from an old ugly dress torn apart, a thrift store find. I got it in the same bag sale as my belts from last weeks post. Then I found this trim at the thrift store on another visit, it was .50 for the roll. So here is the finished lamp shade, the lamp I already had. I have two of these lamps and shades, so they might go on the piano. This photo subject to change. So then I had to start thinking about art.

See the eagle mirror and the flower picture that used

to look like this in my dining room?

Mr. eagle now looks like this. The eagle frame was a thrift

store find at .45, I had the old mirror that was a perfect fit.

The picture of flowers now, this was a yard sale find, I

think I paid $1.00. The picture of the house above is

one of my favorite finds at the thrift store .50, and a

little black paint to tone down the gold frame. The

candle holders that I have shown previously they

were.25 each, and you can see the top of my black

chairs from last week. The chairs were freebie's from

my Mother, no bottoms in them. They are very sturdy

and comfortable with the belts on them.

Bad Photograph, but this was a freebie, one of my friends

was redecorating and getting rid of it. I gave the frame a

little black paint and its ready to go. I hope you have

enjoyed my progress so far and will join me again for

the next installment of A Black and White Redo. I have no

ideal where I'm going from here! Be scared!!!!
