Look what I did....Adorable lamp!

I saw this idea on another blog and I am so sorry I cannot for the life of me remember who's it was. If you recognize it or if it is yours please let me know and take credit. Anyhoo, obviously I loved it and I had to copy it, especially after tripping over my poor dog Milo in the middle of the night because I had no light!!

Here is what she looked like before (again its a girl, hehe)-
It cost me $3.00 at the DI. I took the fabric off of the lamp shade and took the lamp apart-
I painted the lamp with Krylon Pistachio and Ballet Slipper (because I love the colors and had them on hand) and I put little flowers on the shade, simple!
Here she is in her new home-
I love her and I am sure my ankles will be thanking her since there will be no more midnight tripping!

Dont forget to enter MY AWESOME GIVEAWAY!

Until later,
Hugs,
Shelly

That really came out cute. Maybe you could put a flame type bulb in it unless that wouldn't give enough light.

Really cute! I used to have this same lamp. I agree with Donnie about using a different bulb. Don't like those curly ones at all. Did you know they have mercury in them? Read somewhere that when one breaks, you should call a haz-mat team in for clean up! Don't know if that's true or not.
