Well, well, I wasted no time getting to this vintage lamp I scored at Goodwill the other day.
You remember it?
It certainly had potential for $3.99.
I knew it would go in our bedroom on the dresser.
I cleaned it up real good and decided it needed a little paint lift.
First, let me mention that Cane lampshades must be the in thing.
Horchow is selling this little Cane lampshade for
$275.00!
Yeah, right, I don’t think so people!
So let me show you what I did……
The shade was a little wonky so I decided I would add a touch of burlap on two of the panels.
Of course a little flower embellishment!
This little burlap banner came off my pool noodle wreath!
I also trimmed it out on two sides with some french bumble bee ribbon.
I love this little lamp and it is a perfect addition to our Master bedroom!
Thanks for stopping over today. If you are not a regular, I sure would love to see you back again.

August 1 at 11:26 pmWow. That turned out darling. I love how you’ll rob a past project too! That is so cool 🙂 The lampshade must be worth… what? $199 now. LOL!!!! Really? $250 for a lampshade. Who buys that stuff?
Looks darling in your room. Good job girl!!

August 2 at 10:44 amOMG-Now I KNOW I am OLD! I had that lamp (and a matching pendant fixture) in the little girl’s room in…READY FOR THIS….1978! I had wicker headboards and yellow and white bedding for them. They were ages 1 & 2. LOVE your makeover- xo Diana
Olive Cooper says
August 2 at 10:49 amToo sweet Debbie. Joe and I redo lamps and sell them weekly. CC may go to college a semester on lamps and I am not kidding. Lamps in stores are off the chain expensive just as you so well illustrated. Olive
andrea says
August 2 at 10:49 amDebbie, it’s darling! If there’s anybody out there who would pay $275 for a lamp shade, I definitely don’t have them in my company. That’s my car payment! What you did is super cute; I especially like the little banner embellishment. In other news, Dan’s makin’ spaghetti sauce today… the kitchen’s a wreck… Hope you’re having a great summer!

Brenda Kula-Pruitt says
August 2 at 9:00 pmWhen I saw you standing in the store with it, I thought, oh no, whatever can she do with that? But you surprised me but good! You made it beautiful with your creativity! {Who on earth can spend nearly $300 on a lamp shade, I ask you?}
