Revamping of an old shade
My daughter, Stephanie, bought the neatest lamp shade this week. It is trimmed with braid and has applique flowers on it and in rich burgundy colors...it looks really sharp. I picked up her discarded shade and said.."can I have this?" ( Anyone that knows me, knows I never throw things away too easily..so I brought it home.) I found this braid at WalMarts for 3.97. At first, I thought it may be too gaudy looking, but now that it is finished.I think I like it. (Bob didn't growl at it ..so i guess it is a keeper .LOL)

ReplyDeleteThat looks great!
I never thought of doing that to a lampshade! It really changes the look and it is so easy to do!
Now my wheels are turning in my mind to think of things that I can add trim like that to!
that's a beauty now!
