Thank you Sabor a Pasion for hosting us. Let's do another class soon!

One of the first things we made for the farm kitchen was this coffee cup lamp (you can read about it by clicking here). I have loved the way it added some whimsy to my kitchen. Over time, it moved from the corner on crates to the kitchen counter.
But what I haven't loved is its shade...I thought the burlap would be the perfect touch for my farmhouse kitchen. I even added some mini pom-poms to the edge. Cute, right?
Not quite; the burlap wasn't working for me. I've discovered I don't care a whole lot for burlap. It's too primitive for my taste. It works for a few things but on this lampshade, no. I decided to cover it up with some red and white checkered fabric.
After tearing my fabric into strips, I started gluing them on. All the way around and this is what I have now:
Much, much better! Still has that farmhouse feel, but with a bright touch of color.
This was an extremely easy redo. I didn't even pull off the tiny pom-poms. I just wrapped the fabric right over them.
Excuse the mess and blurry pics. It was late and I didn't clear the counter off... Just keeping it real for ya! :o) |
I have plans for a better location for this lamp. It involves another project I need to work on. Maybe in a couple of weeks? Think cart and coffee station and you'll be on the right track!
Oh, and the telephone table? The weather is going to cooperate this week and I have the time to tackle it so stay tuned!
See you soon!
