Quick Lamp Update


Okay, I finished the lamp with the trim.  And I am also showing you the pair of lamps that I did for the master bedroom.  The bases and shades were 75% off at Target.  The fabric (which was not as good for this project--too flimsy) was 30% off at Hobby Lobby.  I didn't have to paint the bases, and I already had the spray adhesive.  So, I think around 20.00 total for the pair of lamps.  Total.  For a pair of lamps.  Oh, and as you can see the orange lamp bases are painted ivory for those of you who asked.

Now these lamps would not work in the home of a perfectionist.  They are defintely flawed.  But I am very excited about the cute little touch they will add to our "cottage" style bedroom at the rental house.  Yay for lamps on the cheap!!!

I love them!!! And i can't wait to see pics of your rental house. There is just something about living in an older home that is comfortable and familiar. New homes are nice too but older homes are just "lived in". I like walking in our old neighborhood and imagining what it looked like in the 40's and 50's.
