I found this pair of lamps a few months ago on Craigslist, $10 for two.
Pretty cute all on their own, especially for $10, but they were begging to be re-done. I want a lamp to put on top the dryer in our new laundry room...or I should say laundry hall. I am going for a little bit of a shabby chic look.So I cut off the fabric, leaving the lining.
Then in classic southern engineering style, I winged it with scissors, some fabric that was on clearance, ribbon and the glue gun. Of course followed by shaking up the trusty can of cream color spray paint and painting the base.
Granted it should NOT be examined by a lamp maker (who?) or anyone with even the slightest perfectionist tendencies because it is certainly not perfect....but it was in the budget and just what I was looking for!I do see now that I will have to spray paint the cord too.
God Bless spray paint. Don't ever pass up a cheap ugly lamp...just paint it!!
