Another Lampshade Make Over

02.18.2012 by Leah // 2 Comments

I think our little lamp is already due for another make-over, whaddya think?

I know my first try at a DIY lampshade wasn’t 100% successful, as you could see from the weird linings at the top and bottom.Β Β  While the cloth was colorful and the print beautiful, it needs to blend with the over-all color motif of our apartment which is mainly in shades of brown and light yellow.

Now that I know a little better, I feel I’m ready to re-do it and come up with a cleaner output hehe.

Here are some of my pegs for the new lampshade:

A damask print fabric in green is really nice.

This cityscape design really cool and would make a good conversation piece:

A vintage doiley lampshade injects a shabby chic look in your home.

I love the last one so much I think I’m going to try it but using paper doilies instead.

Here’s another similar project, this time using paper doilies as stencil pattern for the lamp shade.

I am really getting interested in this project!Β Β  Do you have other ideas on how to transform paper doilies into a nice lampshade?

    Hi, you have such great taste and great ideas to match, i love the shabby chic lampshade, it looks so country. Where did you buy those lovely paper doilies by the way? My son sullivan will be christened this september and i was thinking of making my own favors wrapped in kraft and paper doilies, i just don’t know where to look for it. Would appreciate your reply much. Thanks.

With Manila on extended GCQ and the vaccine roll-out still being finalized, we cannot afford to be complacent.

Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will c Hi Daddy! Lapit na ang birthday mo, and you will celebrate it in heaven na ☁️☁️☁️ Pero kasama mo pa rin kami magce-celebrate. Same as last year, we will celebrate it at home dahil may #covid_19 pa rin. You will remember that last year, yours is the first birthday we celebrated in quarantine. I just came from Baguio (for work) and  someone from our group tested positive. Hindi na tayo nakapagpa-picture dahil puro nasa #covid_19 ang attention natin. We miss you, daddy! I hope you like your flowers today, mas marami na green leaves kaysa flowers. Just the way you like it. πŸ’šπŸ’š #theoriginalplantito
