Lets talk about my lampshade makeover ideas! I have done quite a few through the years. Most of these shades I still do have. Some I confess I have given away. But most of them, I change out from time to time.
I do also, change out a lot of my crafts and give them new life. I usually mention that in my post.
If you read the newsletter, this poppy shade is the one I am talking about that went crazy back in 2010 I believe.
WOW, just saying these pictures are BAD! That is one thing I will say I have improved upon a bit.
I am highlighting all these lampshades in bold so you can go and see the original.
Which btw, most are pretty bad tutorials, and photo’s. I think I do an overall better job now-a-days.
It is so simple to take a plain shade and jazz it up with whatever design stencil you like. 
Twine and Fall leaves. Easy peasy. I typically do things that I can remove and change up.
One of my favorites was the
Gingham lamp shade with flower. For some reason I can’t find the original post on this. But as you can see it’s just some fabric with ric rac trim. (Did I say that right?) ric rac sounds funny. This shade here above was the original one done over with the Poppy flower.
This was cheapo lampshade I did some cute burlap flowers on. Well sort of flowers. I tried.
It later became this lampshade with ribbon trim. Which has remained the same since.
Vintage cane lampshade makeover
It’s funny looking back and seeing how much our master bedroom has changed.
You can see how it all looked before here, then see what it looks like now here.
Stenciled fun and funky lampshade
This here lampshade was fun and funky for our guest room decor at the time.
It has been long gone for awhile now. Once I changed up the guest room this just didn’t fit in anymore.
This is what it looked like here, years back when I started my blog.
I haven’t done a lampshade in awhile. I believe this was my last one back a year or two ago.
Well that sure was fun to look back. Gotta run, I think a lampshade is calling my name:)
I hope this inspired you to look at lampshades in a whole new light!
GET IT!!!!??
If you are not a regular here, I sure would love to see you back again.

Loved seeing all of your fun lampshade makeovers Debbie!
Thanks Penny. These are really old but I thought it would be fun to go back and see some of the ones I have done in the past years.
Thanks for the lampshade ideas, Debbie! I’m a lurker and rarely have much to say, but after I read your newsletter, I decided to show more appreciation by saying something once in awhile! You have a fun blog and I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Thanks much! Have a great weekend!
Thank you Kris! That is sweet. Really, I do understand. I did receive more clarity after I sent that newsletter out and received some awesome feedback:)
Love your blog! Keep being you.
Thanks Carole! I will:)
Great ideas. I never thought of doing shades for the holidays. Now I need to try it. Love the blog! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Rosemary! I will…do my best lol! xo
I thought I might see something rooster based here….and I did! LOL Great ideas, love them! You are one of the first blogs I ever read and followed and I look forward to it coming into my mailbox….”The Rooster Lady” is what I call you. I get my coffee and sit and enjoy. Don’t comment much but thought I should de-lurk to say how much I enjoy your blog!
You gals are making my day!!! Thank you ever so kindly. Like I mentioned above, don’t feel obligated every time. I am on cloud nine that you are here reading.
I like the thought of changing lampshade decorations for the season!!!
I have been reading your blog for a while now and I saw the one asking if there was anything that we wanted to change. I am a VERY shy person who rarely speaks out unless I feel compelled to do so, which I do now. I never commented because there is nothing that I want to see change, if I was unhappy with your blog I would simply stop following. I may not always relate to the crafts that you do, most of them I love. But I wouldn’t change anything, what you write about you enjoy, so it is a part of you tgat you
Sorry, tablet is wonky! So what you write about is sharing a part of yourself, I am grateful for that. Keep writing, crafting, cooking, sharing! God bless!
Thanks Jennifer:) I sure will. It’s what I love to do and have a passion for. xo Thanks for being here with me.
I love your designs:) You have such an awesome blog:) I love how you stay true!
Thanks Heather! XO
Love your lampshades!! Makes me want to spruce up a couple of my oldies.
I’m kinda like Kris. I love your blog. Read every single blog and pin many of the ideas. I’m just kind of quiet and figured everyone else already said what I was thinking of saying, so why be redundant? Now I understand feedback is healthy and appreciated, I’ll do more of it!
Very kind Linda! I don’t want you to feel you have to comment every single time though….please don’t feel that burden. I was just happy to get the feedback via emails and nice thoughts. xo
Just tried to leave you a comment and was told I “had timed out”. Don’t know what that meant but maybe that is why you don’t get a lot of comments. Love your blog.
It came through lol!
Love, love the rooster lamp with the twine and leaves. Very fall and so cute!
Thanks!:)
Debbie I think comments are a thing of the past, many new blogs don’t even have a spot for comments, it’s just the changing times for blogging.
That is true, I have seen that before. I just want my readers to know I truly read them and care what they have to say. I am glad I let them know. I had a lot of great feedback from it.
Glad to see a post soon. I am slow writing and said I timed out too. Liked that burlap and Mercury glass lamp w just a bit of stencil! Fun to see how lampshades are easy to change accents aren’t they☺️
Sorry Gwen that happened to you too. I will have to look into why that happened. I have my Brother-in-law coming over on Monday who is an IT guy to look into some things for me:)Thanks for dropping in and leaving a nice comment.
Love the lamp shades and your blog. I’m always thrilled to see your name
in my inbox. Thank you for sharing, Sharon
YAY Thanks Sharon! XO
