Whimsically Delicious

By

Have you ever given a lampshade a “makeover”?
I have this illness where I can’t seem to leave things in their original state.
Case in point…these lampshades.
This is what they look like now.
I Love them!
I redid these a while ago, so of course I don’t have a before pic but this is
very close to what they looked like before.
They were okay but nothing special.

I looked at those shades and thought “Why have I lived with this red for so long?”

It just wasn’t me.

So right then and there I ripped off all the red fabric with NO IDEA what I was going to replace it with!

YIKES!!!
But it all worked out and I love the end results.

Each of the fabrics had to be cut in a specific shape, sewn together and
lined with a semi blackout lining to allow the pattern to not disappear
when the lights were turned on.
The flower trim was easy…good ole hot glue!

“Whimsically Delicious!”
I’m happy now!

Indicated by the fact I haven’t ripped it off and started over!!!

  2. I absolutely adore this makeover! Would you consider adding this to Fabric Fun Thursday and doing a guest post/tutorial soon?

  8. This lampshade is totally funky and fun! Yeah for you! Found you and following now thru Funky Junk’s SNS #36. Pam @ Sallygoodin

  13. Beautiful! I’d love to do that to some of my lamp shades but I know I’d rip off the original material and mess up. The next thing you know I’d be hiding a wire lamp shade form in the garbage and heading to Target for a new one! : ) I have loads of fabric scraps that would probably work good for this, too, so maybe I can practice on an extra shade.
