metal basket turned light fixture, and a window makeover

I've been wanting to update the light fixture above

 my kitchen sink for some time now.  I finally found

 the perfect basket, purchased at a consignment

 store.

With just a little tweaking on the bottom,

we got it to fit perfectly.

Here's the before, and the fixture I have

hated for 6 years!

All we did was take the existing glass shade off and

 replace with the basket.

I also added some trim work around the window

to dress it up.

I cleared off the junk that had been accumulating

on the window ledge,

and added my pretty glass collection filled with

 pink flowers from my yard.

I love the frenchy farmhouse feel the new basket

light gives the space.

I also added a few accessories around the sink. 

See what a little {primp}ing can do for

a small space?

Much better now.

P.S. {Primp}, The Shoppe is now open!

Just wanted to let you  know I  have opened an etsy shop which includes lots of yummy farmhouse goods, and fun items I have loved or would love in my own home.  Here is a sneak peak at some of the goods:

Check out the fab etsy widget on the sidebar to see more items and to visit my shop.

My etsy name is MoshPosh because that's how I set it up years ago, and don't know how to change it. (Up until now I have only bought things on Etsy.) But I think the name actually fits the shop quite well, because I will have a mosh posh of items for you to browse.

a vintage grainsack and galvanized tin pedestal

Here are a couple of my latest favorite finds: a galvanized tin pedestal and an old grain sack, both of which I've been wanting for a while.

I've wanted the tin pedestal since I saw this post at the Lettered Cottage.

Of course, mine doesn't hold anything quite as yummy, just apples for now.  When I tried to buy the tin pedestal it was sold out, however, after some research I found it here

                                         
                                                     for $29. 

Then I found a really cool, old grainsack too.

If you sign up for their newsletter you get $20 off your purchase--which was how I justified buying the grainsack, normally around $50, but this way I got it for only $30.  And, I got free shipping because my order was over $50.

Right now I'm using it for a runner on my table, but it will soon be used to upholster a chair that's been sitting in the garage for a couple of months.

Just a couple of new things to {primp} my dining area, and add some frenchy farmhouse feel.
