Or, browse photos of electrical and lighting projects for inspiration. Electrical and lighting projects are easier when you have Hometalk on your side.

Have a lampshade that needs a little pizzazz? You will love this...

I needed a new lamp for my daughter's bedside table, so I took this fabulous shade from Wayfair and embellished the outside with pom poms and the lined the interior with scrapbook paper. Super easy and makes a dramatic impact!
