Every time I see the word “sconce,” it makes me think of scones. Mmmmm. The following redo is a sconce, not a scone, but nevertheless, it’s still a tasty treat!
Kristi gave her outdated sconce a quick makeover and didn’t even take it off the wall! She just taped around it, gave it a quick coat and replaced the ruffly glass thing with a new shade. Looks great! Check it out on her blog Creative Kristi, and thanks to AnNicole from Our Suburban Cottage, for bringing this one to my attention!

March 12, 2010 at 1:07 AMSometimes I just look at these and think, “Whew!” So much better. I can sleep at night knowing that there’s one less sconce that looks like the “before” in the world. Great thinking on this one.
