Guest Room Lamp

The consensus was that the burlap lamp shade that I found at the Salvation Army for my guest room lamp had to go.  Most of my readers either told me directly or sent me an email saying they didn't like the burlap lamp shade.

I love honesty, so thanks.

I liked the texture of the lamp shade, so I wanted to try to save it somehow.

First, I decided to spray paint it white.  It took several coats.

Next, I took some of the left over fabric from the folding chair that I refinished and cut two strips.  I carefully glued these pieces onto the lamp shade at the top and the bottom, tucking and gluing the ends in as I went along.

And here is my new lamp shade.  I hope you like it more than the plain brown burlap.
