Lamp Revamp.

This week I gave a {boring} standing lamp a much-needed makeover.

It was my husband's, until he decided, on a whim, that he didn't want it anymore.

Of course, I saved it in our spare bedroom before he could even think of throwing it out. 

I'm a hoarder, remember?

A healthy one, though.

 I knew I wanted it to be colorful.

There's no room for black in my tiny house.

So I picked out a bright aqua fabric. Decked with flowers, of course. Took some measurements. And with spray adhesive {I used the Elmer's kind}, I attached my floral fabric to the {boring} fabric lampshade.

 Please excuse the bad lighting & the fraying zebra towel. 

We've been having random gloomy weather lately.

 I painted the lamp frame a metallic gold,

Slipped the lampshade back in,

& found the lamp a new home next to my loveseat.

The best part is, it has shelves so it doubles as a side table.

Perfect for books, coffee mugs and maybe some extra blankets come winter time.

Don't you love pieces that have multiple features? 

i H-E-A-R-T this fabric.

Colorful. Floral. Mismatched. & totally perfect! 

Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!
I'm going to go admire my new lamp/side table now :)
