I had planned to do a really special project and I was so excited about it. However, I ran into a few obstacles before even getting started and there was no way I could get it done by the deadline. I had to come up with a new idea but I'm really please with how it turned out.
I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest. A couple of days ago, I saw this beautiful lamp that was pinned from Anthropologie. Come to find out, it's $98. Seriously?!? NINETY- EIGHT DOLLARS for a lamp shade!? Not going to happen. I chose to make my own out of an old bed skirt and beat up lamp shade for much, much less.
I went from this...
to this...
Isn't it beautiful? Ok, the sunflare, the flowers, the saving of $90, and recycling sure do add to it's beauty. Want to see more?
While I still think the anthro shade is incredibly cute, it's also incredibly expensive.

This is my favorite from the contest. It would go cute with the ruffle burlap pillow I made last week for the contest. I may have to copy you!
This is amazing work. I am so inspired by this. I love the textures and colors you chose.
I think this is way cute, but would have liked a tutorial :(
