Perhaps you have already seen
the Moroccan inspired lamp that I had previously upcycled. The shade languished about for a while like this.
 |
| Very gold, indeed. |
And now, for a closer look at this plasticky, frilly detail:
 |
| Complete with sparkly gold ties that remind me of Christmas tinsel. And a rip in the plastic fabric. Lovely! |
At any rate, I was
inspired to do something with ribbon! So, the gold plastic ribbon went away, never to be seen again, and the lovely scalloped edge was revealed.
 |
| Good bones! |
One roll of lime green ribbon and a
lamp swag kit later and I finally had a light over my vanity table. Now I can actually see my face when I am applying my makeup! I know, everyone here in my neck of the woods is grateful. Finally, two versions of the finished project: lit and unlit!
Now, to find an old ratty shade with "good bones" for the other side of the room! Off to thrift stores I go!
