    I am in the process of  a new makeover for our master bedroom.  I have to admit 15 years of the same look was getting a little boring……..I think that I kept procrastinating because I had fauxed the walls years ago and the time that that took was endless. I came across this massive fireplace…

    I needed new bedroom lamps and decided to give a go with transforming one of the brass lamps that I found at a thrift store for $6.00. The shade and the shape of the lamp is nice but I hated the brass color. I decided to try making it look like mercury glass even though…
