Have you ever given a lampshade a "makeover"?
I have this illness where I can't seem to leave things in their
original state! Case in point...these lampshades.
This is what they look like now.
I Love them!
I redid these a while ago, so of course I don't have a before pic
I redid these a while ago, so of course I don't have a before pic
but this is very close to what they looked like before.
They were Okay but...Does anyone ever get a wild hair?
I do!!!
...and I did!!!
I looked at those shades and thought
"Why have I lived with this red for so long?"
It just wasn't me.
So right then and there I ripped off all the red fabric
with NO IDEA what I was going to replace it with!
YIKES!!!
But it all worked out in the end and this was the result.
Each of the fabrics had to be cut in a specific shape, sewn together
and lined with a semi blackout lining to allow the pattern
to not disappear when the lights were turned on.
The flower trim was easy...good ole hot glue!
"Whimsically Delicious!"
I'm happy now!Indicated by the fact I haven't ripped it off and
started over!!!
Have a Whimsically Blessed Day!

This lampshade is totally funky and fun! Yeah for you! Found you and following now thru Funky Junk's SNS #36. Pam @ Sallygoodin
ReplyDeleteWhat a knack you have for wonderful combos! I love the new look of your lamps, they are so unique.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the mix of fabrics. And then the floral trim... My kind of decorating. Love it. Gotta ask, where did you find the trim?
ReplyDeleteThank you CoopDeVilla! I have seen this trim at Hobby Lobby in other colors. But I THINK I got the green at Fabrics Unlimited in Oklahoma City. (It's been a while!) Hope you find it!
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! Really nice job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'd love to do that to some of my lamp shades but I know I'd rip off the original material and mess up. The next thing you know I'd be hiding a wire lamp shade form in the garbage and heading to Target for a new one! : ) I have loads of fabric scraps that would probably work good for this, too, so maybe I can practice on an extra shade.
ReplyDeleteGeorgeous! I have the same colors, reds, greens, golds, black and white. I adore the trim,that makes it! Thanks for a beautiful idea. Denise
ReplyDeleteThese are truly THE BEST!!! They'd fit perfectly in MY living room:)
