upcycled lamp

We don't have a before picture,
 but you can use your imagination...
The base was 1980's dark stained wood.
The shade stunk and was stained.
We completely removed the shade down to the wire
  and replaced it with a table cloth from the thrift store using hot glue.
A few ruffles, a doily, and a newly painted base make for a great new lamp!

craft day


I wish I had taken more pictures,
but we were too busy having fun!
We filled our space with anything we could make into something and got to work!
We started so many projects, inspired each other, and tried new things.
Can I just highly suggest this as a way to spend time with good friends?
The day was gone in a flash, and we all agreed we could have filled the weekend.

Now that the weather is cool,
the lime tree has moved inside.
The pot that it sits in on the deck is pretty blah, so
I made a simple slipcover to camouflage it.
It is really simple.
A long strip of fabric, enough to cover the pot, one stitch down the side.

from plastic to perfect


The middle man's old desk storage was a plastic eyesore from the Target $spot.
The new one was half the price from the thrift store!
An old shoe shine kit with a lot more personality and longevity.

lighten up


The little lady's lamp needed a redo.
The shade was a faded green eyesore.
We had a few stray quilting scraps that I hot glued right over the old lamp shade.
