DIY Wall Sconce Video

August 12, 2011 By

What to do when you have a house full of kids on a summer afternoon?  Shoot a DIY video???  Yah, that’s how we roll!  We have talked ourselves out of this and put it off for way to long but we bit the bullet this week and we have our brother-in-law, Beffy, to thank for putting this all together for us!  Our kids think we are “cool like Carly and Sam” (Nick show for those of you that aren’t tuned-in 24 hours a day;) so at least we have that going for us!!  We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this project….definitely a Shanty Fav!  So, without further adieu…….

Our First Shanty 2 Chic Video Tutorial!

 

2 wall sconces for under $10!  Happy Friday and have a safe weekend!!

    Great job on the video! I ditto all the wonderful comments above. I searched and searched for some sconces to put on either side of the office doors (there is a pretty alcove there just begging me for sconces) and have not found any I like…until now! I’m definitely making these! Thanks so much for your inspiration.

    Hey guys! So sorry for the delayed response!!! I purchased the iron medallions at Hobby Lobby but if you aren’t having luck there you can get wooden medallions at Lowe’s in the decorative wood section near the trim! Hope this helps:) ~Ashley
