Lamp Shade Re-do


I found this lamp already painted white AND with the drum shade...at the thrift store. It was tall and slender and distressed in all the right places.


Here's how it looked before I fancied it up with some black dandy damask fabric, turquoise ribbon and a little hot glue. What did you fancy up this weekend?

    This weekend I was supposed to redo two lampshades in my bedroom and I totally chickened out. Did you apply the fabric on top of the existing fabric or did you strip it down to the wiring?

    I LOVE this! I have used cute paper to make a lampshade, but I'm eager to try using fabric to dress one up!
