Here they are--these nifty little lamps I found for a great deal! You all know, by now, that my husband thought I was out of my mind for buying these babies. But, I'm so glad I totally disregarded his pessimism and didn't let myself be discouraged by his nay-saying! ;)
Before
I think maybe it was the bling at the bottom of the shade that threw him! lol! Seriously, I didn't think they were THAT bad just the way they were. :)
After
You have to admit, bad or not, THESE are much better!!
You can find the tutorial for the shade and the rosette here (shade) and here (rosette).
I think the buffet and the lamps are going to be my Christmas presents to myself!! Woo hoo! :)
Those are amazing! I love the term "nay-saying" - that's great! Thanks for sharing - headed over now to see your tutorial!!

Thanks Stacey! Thanks for hosting--again!--and I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving! Enjoy your vacation! (And a blog hop would be so much fun!)
DeleteStunning! That is all I can say. Everything you do is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Patti at OldThingsNew
ReplyDeleteThank you Patricia! So grateful for your kind words. :)
DeleteLisa I have lamps that could be twins (almost) to these and I am so gonna do this. I have been studying your tutorials and am off to the fabric store early this week and fingers crossed and no procrastination on my part, I WILL have lamps that look like this too (or as best as I can)! They say something about the greatest form of flattery is to "snag" that idea and make it too, so consider this GREAT flattery! These are beautiful, I love them! And DH is right that buffet is "COOL", so Merry Christmas to you! Hope you had a great day yesterday with family and friends, Happy Thanksgiving!
