It's that time again!
Okay, okay...I'll confess I dipped out last month. But, I think I've finally gotten my bearings, and we're back in buisness. Sorry, guys.
So, although we've been staying with Annie these last few weeks (due to the move), it certainly hasn't held me back from thrifting. While at the beach over spring break, in fact, we had a full day of it.
It was pretty, darn fabulous.
Funny, we found this old lampshade ($3)...
and this old lamp base ($25) at the very stame Goodwill.
Annie came up with the bright idea to strip the shade down...
and I decided to paint a few quick stripes on the plastic piece at the neck of the base...
Then, we put it all together.
It looks pretty grand in Annie's room right now...but I have a place in mind at our new house it might look even better... :)
Now it's time you check out these other fabulous gals...
I would have never thought to paint the neck! What a great idea. You got a steal on that lampshade! I just paid $10 for one!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo in love with this lamp! Makes me want to run out in search of one right now! And I think I'll be painting stripes on all my lamp's 'necks' too ...

Love it. And what a great deal on what looks like a solid brass lamp!
ReplyDeleteThis turned out great! I love the lampshade stripped down. I think this project just saved countless old lampshades from being tossed in the trash!
ReplyDeleteThis looks fabulous! It's amazing how much those tiny little stripes make the whole lamp look so current. And I love the stripped down lampshade!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea!
ReplyDeleteOne question, what kind of bulb did you use so that the light isn't so harsh?
I got an Edison bulb...although I haven't actually used the lamp yet...not until we're in our house can I. So, I'm hopeful it'll be fine!
DeleteGreat Diy tips i would like to share this with my peers. thanks for this wonderful article.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what you’ve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.You’ve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Hello, I read your blog occasionally, and I own a similar one, and I was just wondering if you get a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you stop it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane, so any assistance is very much appreciated.
