How to Paint a Lampshade
This was such a fun little DIY. And easy too. I was giving this corner of my living room a little face-lift a couple of weeks ago (Yes, yes. I’ll show you real soon!) and my plain old off-white, kinda stained, nothing special lamp shade really started to bug me again.
A few hours later, when I was sitting in the parking lot at Kennedy’s school, I found myself dreaming up ideas for changing it up a bit. As usual, the simplest, easiest idea won out.
I asked Kennedy if she would help me and, of course, she agreed!
What kid wouldn’t want to do something ridiculous like paint their mom’s lampshade?
I absolutely love this lamp in the corner of our room now. It focuses the light perfectly and the dark shade really classes things up quite a bit. Don't forget to click the link below to get full instructions for this one hour project, and to learn the nifty little trick to getting full coverage!
