Funky Junkupdated repost...Joining Way too late for the Copy Me Challenge,
but I still wanted to show off my knock~off idea from
Donna...at Funky Junk...
remember where she used a vintage hanger to hang a curtain?...well here is my version...
and I am linking it to a fun party featuring Donna's style.

a spice jar, turned candle holder...added a little Epsom Salt...
sometimes I use rock salt, but the Epsom has a finer glimmer to it...
the two salts work well mixed together with a little glitter, too.

and of course a touch of bling~never hurts!
I used a plant hanger to hang my hanger...
since I don't have molding, plus it needed to be very secure.

I really didn't want a curtain up on this window.
The player piano roll fit the skinny entry window perfectly,
with the tiny note holes allowing a pretty pattern of light.

The song is "Let Me Call You Sweetheart"
and I think it made a sweetheart of a pull shade.
The openness of an old canning jar basket resting on a rusty aquarium base
keeps the small area from appearing crowded.
Parts of the roll were very brittle,
decoupaging some dress patterns around reinforced those spots without altering the look much.
ignore me, in the mirror, and I am still am in the tweaking stage of my entry
(one reason I didn't post it during the challenge, but decided to show it now and add more pics as it evolves)
Blogging is a great place for inspiration and encouragement...
When I see an idea, my imagination just shoots off to new ideas and ways I can incorporate it for my home.
That creative process is fun, isn't it?
Have you taken an idea lately and changed it up a bit to fit you?
Adding one more picture...when I found my crystal bling, I dangled some...it helped to weight it, too.
pulling down the shades and going to bed..

You are so talented aunt Lezlee.....you have made grandmas home very beautiful.....love you...cant wait to see it all together
Well, what an adorable idea! Very junkified too! :) The candles in that wire thing down below are pretty sweet as well.
Thanks for the mention! Truly honored. :)
Donna
Very nice! Love the idea and it fits so well! The candle lantern is a special nice touch there with the rest of your candle display. A+++!
That is a great use of the old piano roll. I really love the old canner rack holding the candles. You never cease to amaze me with your new ideas.
What a great idea Lezlee....it looks wonderful. Darn!!!...I had two piano rolls and I threw them out!!!!????
Happy day!

Well, that's sure a fun idea, Lezlee! I really love using vintage hangers, too!
Such a sweet idea!! I love that you reused an aquarium stand...I use one for a table base on my porch, big piece of tile is the top. Yours looks great with the candles!! Hope y'all got a breeze going, it is soooo hot here! Later Tater, Vicki
How cool is that? You come up with such great ideas. Really original. You are officially a crafty clever clogs!!

This is an awesome idea for a narrow window! Beautiful repurposing of lots of old 'junk'.

How clever of you! I agree that the creative process is fun, and love that blogging allows us to share ideas and encouragement too! Oh and yes....I did make the polymer clay flower I used on my latest post. I wish you were going to paper cowgirl, or at least for the vendor night. It's in Waxahachie...so it's not toooo far!
Love it, Lezlee! Very neat idea. Love all the components, and the glowy glitter just tops it off!! Thanks for linking up to VIF!

OMG what a great idea to you the player piano roll!! it fits perfectly. Lovin' your entry!
*hugs*deb
Okay - I have some windows for you to dress.
LOVE this!!!

Lezlee, I LOVE this!!! So very clever and fun :) Such a fun little corner you've created! Laurel
Stunning! Such a beautiful and creative way to repurpose an old player piano roll. I'm going to have to be on the lookout for one of those!
Hey there Lezlee-
I love this window treatment. I especially love that you used stuff you already had...the entry looks great. The aquarium stand with candles... so neat. Looks inviting.
Hope your having a great summer!
talk to you later, Pat
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ...
Your rendition is awsome!
The piano roll makes it..
Yes my mind is already spinning...
sooo cute!

sweet Up-North Mornings...
How clever and neat looking. I love it up there!!! I love unique and that's unique.
The crystal was an excellent final touch! You are so clever to 'patch' the brittle paper with the pattern tissue!
Of course I don't think I've seen one single piano roll since I've seen this roller shade idea! Go figure.
Susanne.
totally cool shade!!

Are those all secondhand? Hmmm, I wanna try something similar. We have an attic chock-full of things I can prolly turn into something new. A friend of mine loves recycling old window frames... with a few touches, he manages to turn them into picture frames!
