When redecorating the guest bedroom this lamp was the only one we had available for the nightstand...
The tan shade just didn't go with the rest of the room. I refused to spend money on a new one and I had seen in the magnificent Blog-world many people doing an anthropologie inspired ruffle shade. I figured what the heck, why not try it out! I had left over white fabric in my stash so I went to town making strips and then sewing a gathering stitch down the middle.
I then used my tiny hot glue gun to apply white strips along the bottom and top of the shade and then attached the ruffled strips one at a time spiraling to the top, slightly overlapping as I went.
And there you have it, a super cute new lampshade.
I would have spray painted the base but it actually fits into the room as is.Sorry about delaying the guest room reveal, but having the baby early threw of my schedule a tiny bit. I should have it done soon, I promise!
