1990's Burgundy and Gold Lamp Upcycle
30 Minutes
Easy
My sweet husband thinks our Home Office Makeover is all about him but this fabulous lamp upcycle project is going to make him wonder who it's really for!
I just had to add a little touch of femininity to the space with a DIY Lamp Shade to my desk area! The project started with an outdated burgundy and gold candlestick lamp and a thrift store sweater.

This green sweater was perfect for covering the small lampshade. A few more supplies from my favorite craft store and I was ready to begin!
It was a little tricky to get it attached but once it was glued on I was able to pretty the shade up with a ribbon of tulle and flowers.
Next it was time to change the look of the lamp's base. A simple paint job with my favorite metallic spray paint did the trick!
Such a pretty little lamp for my desk area! I love the color and that it is a DIY lamp shade from a castoff sweater. Because I had many of the supplies on hand this entire project cost less than $5!

The little polka dot rosettes are so cute.
