Thrifty lamp re-do

On a thrifting jaunt with kids in tow...I found a pair of these matching lamps at the thrift store...which is hard to come by, so I snapped 'em up!


Before: Brownish with plain jane lamp shade!


After: I had black zebra print fabric..so I just painted the lamp stand black and hot-glued the fabric onto the shade!

tahdah! I heart thrifting!

I also grew weary of my wispy white sheers hanging on my window...so I ring-clipped some toile fabric to the rod. No-sew lampshades and curtains...gotta love that!

  3. Those are so adorable! I've been really loving the zebra print lately too. Still trying to convince hubby to redo our dining room chairs in it, but no luck so far. And your monogrammed throw pillow looks great. I'm sure you did that one too :)
