About a year ago, I purchased this lamp at an auction. I love the base of the lamp but for some reason, I haven’t been able to figure out what to do with the shade.
This was the first make-over of the shade. I added trim to the top and bottom of the shade and attached a tassel to the base. I wasn’t very happy with it, but just left it and thought I would try again later.
The second time around, I added a bead trim around the top of the shade. Well needless to say, I still wasn’t very happy with it.
And now for the third make-over……I added a burlap rosette and trim!
I Googled “fabric rosette” and the search resulted with tons of hits on how to make a fabric and/or paper rosette. It was so easy to do.
Finally, I can say that I am happy with how the shade turned out.
Thanks for stopping by and may your day be filled with all the happiness it can hold.

Love it, Gail! I think the burlap wound up being the perfect addition. Great rosette, too!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable! Good for you to keep trying, you knew you'd know the right look when you saw it, and wow, it's great! Sue
ReplyDeleteI like both shades but the second one has a warm fuzzy feeling!! Great job on the rosette! It is just a cute lamp overall!
ReplyDeleteI love the natural effect of the burlap. It fits nicely with the rest of the soothing hues of white.

The lamp is great with the burlap, and the whole area and tabletop look fantastic. I recently did a Napkin Folding Rosette Tutorial...I hope you'll have a chance to stop by and visit. Enjoyed my visit to your neat blog.
ReplyDeleteGail, this is awesome!! I thought they all looked good but this is my favorite too!
ReplyDeleteThe whole vignette is just so pretty!!
I noticed on your sidebar that your son is in Aphfanistan. A good friend of mine that works with me, her son is there as of tomorrow. We will keep your son in our prayers too...

I love rosettes as they make the perfect accents for so many things! I really like how you mixed the burlap and white, and it does seem like the burlap works well with the style lamp you used. Thanks for sharing your idea with us!
