ive always wanted to do a home blog...so here goes..
this lamp's "plastic" wood grain was falling off..and in the store i instantly thought of a much better way to preserve this sharp modern lamp...all i would have to do is find the perfect shade...
to start off..i love to shop at thrift stores..and antique shops mainly because most of my finds..NONE OF MY FRIENDS HAVE IT!...i define my style as a bit modern eclectic...i have things in my home from shabby chic to very straight lined modern..my honest style is mainly defined like this...if i LOVE it...i buy it...
ill start today off with a before and after...i found this lamp at goodwill today..one of my all time favorite mass thrift stores!...

after looking through my fabrics...i thought a better idea would be to cover the existing sheet with my favorite (big lots) wrapping paper...im in total love with this wrapping paper that i paid $1 for!...i loved it sooo much i think i bought close to 8 rolls of it....
sooooo....take a look...at my new lamp :)

this lamp will now live in my office...now to find the perfect shade :)
oh yeah..the cost of this project was...
the lamp = $6 (50% off today)
the wrapping paper = $1 a roll but i've wrapped two gifts with it already! lol i usually get 5 gifts wrapped with one roll?? so say 20cent? lol
for a grand total of $3.20!!
ill add the price of shade to the total when i find it..cute huh?
