On to the lamp that I have a love hate relationship with...
See how brilliant the actual lamp is, the details and the color? But then there is this boring, no personality shade on top...I mean what is that?! We've actually had this lamp for a few years now, and for the last year or so I've really wanted to do something to the shade and have been on the hunt for cool DIY lamp shade ideas.
I love this Shape Tape™ trick that Jess did over on East Coast Creative...
It's a pretty simple idea, yet it makes such a big difference to a boring, white lamp shade. I would love to try this in a mint or a navy color.
Oh, and how amazing is this handwritten letter lamp shade DIY from Courtney over on A Little Glass Box...
Besides the lamp being pretty fabulous all on it's own (I mean, it's a horse!), the lamp shade is too. My step-daughter actually did this to her lamp shade, she has been putting together some really cool DIY projects lately, like this industrial lamp idea she created from two wire hanging planters...
She was inspired by an episode of Knock it Off, which is on the Live Well Network and stars Monica and Jess from East Coast Creative (the blog I'm an assistant for!)
So, these are a few DIY lamp shade ideas I'm loving right now, which one is your favorite? Should I paint it, write on it, or go for the industrial look?
Thanks for stopping by, have a great first day of Spring!
