I took a break from my big bookshelf project and did a few simple, easy, and fast crafts with some lamp shades.
I ran into my local Goodwill store the other day and found a cute lamp stand for $3....(forgot to take a before pic)
SCORE!
At Target, I found a lamp shade covered in burlap for $6.
SCORE!
Brought both home, spray painted the lamp stand in my favorite ORB spray paint, hot glued some trim around the top and bottom, and stencilled a cute design onto the shade with craft paint.
...and TA DA!!!!
A brand new buffet lamp for my entry way table.....
OOOOOHHHHH, I LoooooVE it!!!!!!!
In Faith's room, I bought another $6 solid white shade from Tar-jay...gotta love Target...
Once again, I hot glued some ric rac and trim around it....
Bought another lamp base at Goodwill for $2, spray painted it pink to match....
and here it is...
It's amazing how a simple white lamp shade can make something so cute!
It looks so cute next to her bed....
Lastly, and the most simple of my lamp shades is this one...
This lamp was recently spray painted in ORB with just a plain cream colored shade....
....but I thought it needed something more.....
So I simply tied a ribbon around the shade to add a little "umph" to it...
I think it really changes the look, don't you??
I Looooove it.....
what' da' ya think????
Have a great weekend!

I love the dotty trim on that first lamp...purty! ;)
You are so creative! I'm inspired to do one myself :)
Good to meet you today at Chick-fil-A. I just scanned your blog. How neat. You have some great ideas and obviously a lot of energy to actually get them done.

Love what you did with the lampshades...especially the first one and the pink/green rick-rack one.
They are all great. But I love the one in your daughters room- so much fun. My daughter would love it too.

Everything is so cute! I would have killed to have a room as awesome as Faith's when I was a kid--I grew up in the 60s, LOL!
