I have this lamp in my bedroom on my desk that my Daughter doesn't like. She thinks it belongs in a funeral parlor. It has one of those silky sheer shades and I have to admit that it sometimes makes me think that too. I like the lamp though, it's extra tall and silver and has the pull chain and a barrel shaped shade, and to make it even better - I found it on clearance!
Now I'm not a seamstress by any means but I thought of this really simple project I could do with the lamp without ruining the original shade. I found some material on clearance at the store and picked up a small package of elastic and made my lamp a new outfit!
I really like how it turned out and it goes with my room perfectly. The material was $1.00 and the elastic was about the same. A pretty inexpensive way to change the look.
