If you're joining us for the first
time today, welcome! This is day 26 of a 31-day series about how to give a room in
your home a brand new look, from top to bottom, completely DIY.
The point of this post is two-fold. First, to show you that you sometimes have to work with what you can find {or what you can afford} when working on a strict budget. And it's FINE! This is not the lamp I would have chosen for this room if I had unlimited funding, but for $5 I knew I could make it work. Plus, it has a really cool on/off foot switch on the cord. We stuck the switch to the side of the bedside table so Sis can turn it on and off without even sitting up in bed. That's pretty cool. And a burlap lampshade for $3?! Can't beat that.
Second, to show you how easy it is to add a little extra "oomph" and give any boring old project a custom look. This whole project only took me about 5 minutes, but the addition of those simple crocheted flowers elevate the hum drum lamp to a whole new level.
