A few year ago I redid the lamp with some black spray paint and some leftover fabric from my fabric head board.
It has looked like this since....
(Sorry for the picture Quality I had to zoom in on a picture of the whole room)
I have Seriously outgrown the whole red and black theme that has been going on in my bedroom. I just don't like the dark feel.
We have decided to redo our room in a more shabby beach chic-ish. So, I am slowly picking up pieces that will fit in on the cheap. This lamp was one thing i had on hand that I knew would be a keep. But it definitely had to be redone.
With a can of Krylon fusion spray paint I kissed that black goodbye and said hello to white.
On the Shade I had to rip off that old red fabric that I had glued over the yellow gingham. Luckily it came off in one piece and I was able to use it for a pattern to cut the new fabric.
I got this wonderful large piece of Linen at a yard sale for around $0.50. and the lace edge was a hobby lobby find.
I used Beacon's 3-in-1 craft glue on the shade part to attach the fabric. I slowly wrapped it around until it was overlapping about 1 inch and glued it together with more 3-in-1.
Around the rims I used hot glue and carefully folded it under.
Next I put a small dab of hot glue at the back seem and attached the lace ribbon. I used a small dab every 2-3 inches or so just to keep in place.
And here is the final product.
A perfectly feminine shabby lamp for my nightstand.
It looks great with my Homer Laughlin oval platter from 1928 ( $1.60@ an antique barn)
