I am thinking about the lamp shade. It is so plane. I think I might embroder some little design around the top and bottom edge. What do you think?

DIY!
My sister Charlotte has gotten me into doing DIY (Do it yourself) projects. Reuse and re purpose. I am a bit addicted to it. I think it all started when she came out and re did my craft room. We hit the thrift stores and tried to use up what we had around the house. I now love going to thrift stores and seeing the potential in things. Here is my first real project. I was simple but so satisfing! I saw this lamp. It was for three dollars. I really liked the shape of thel lamp and that was about it. I slapped on some black paint and got a new lamp shade (the lamp shade was on clearance too!) and now I have an new lamp!

What a cute little lamp! Way to *make it do* as they said in the olden days! By the way, yesterday I blogged about the first time Jase and I met if you want a little stroll down memory lane. Hope you're enjoying the new(ish) house!
Fabulous!
Hurray for DIY!! It is sooo addictive once you get started. I love the new paint color! I think a little embroidery would be awesome (but you know I'm a fan of color, color, color.)
