lamp and stuff

i decided to give my little lamp a makeover...
the before:

i moved it downstairs cause i made my new ruffled lamp and didn't have a place for it..but it didn't match the decor....so i spraypainted it nickel from krylon
and recovered the lamp shade...

I just took the shade and rolled it along the fabric and marked it off....(i always cut bigger too just to be on the safe side)

then i just hot glued it around....

and painted my nails...sorry. everytime i do it i feel like i should get credit...

I then took a brown ribbon...and since the lamp is curved if i would have just hot glued it around the base it would have puckered...so i pleated? ruffled? it...and then hot glued it around...


it lies a lot better!!!!!



matches so much better!!!!!
the lamp was just part of a little wall makeover! you can go here to see it all!

who's loving the houndstooth dresser? cause i am.
husband not so much....but what does he know?

    That lamp rocks. Sooo adorable! And that houndstooth dresser is awesome (my hubby probably wouldn't like it, either), but it totally caught my eye and made my heart skip a beat!!!
