I am in love with the Goodwill just down the street from me.
A few weeks ago, I arrived at 7:45, armed with a travel mug of coffee to stand in line with many others for the doors to open at 8:00.
Everything in the store was on sale for 50% off!
This was welcome news as I had just moved in and needed a few lamps.
Here are the before and after photos of my lamp makeovers
The ugly lamps ready to be transformed.
One coat of paint does a world of good!!
Plain shade that could use a few frills
All you need to make these ruffles are ribbon and a straight stitch down the middle. Then gather, gather, gather til you have all the ruffles you can stand!!
Plain Jane shade
Not quite sure if you can see, but all along the bottom are sheer ribbon rosettes. Still deciding if I like how it turned out. Definitely better than the before...
Just needs a simple touch
Just a touch of sweetness. Better!
