Before & After: Lampshade Refashion

I mentioned earlier last week that one of my FAVORITE ways to spice up a room in an unexpected way is to incorporate a pattern or surprising color right on a lampshade. I shared my favorite homemade versions during last week’s post {Etsy is so marvelous!} but promised a quick How-To for everyone to try on their own.

And with that, I’d like to introduce the ever-talented All Things Lovely blog that shares the 1, 2, 3 for recreating! It really isn’t so difficult, and while my crazy schedule tends to lean towards the where-can-I-buy-this mode, my wallet and crafty conscience screams but-it’s-so-easy! And this is the perfect solution to those beautiful remnants that might be lying around! {Alright, now out to Etsy to search for an amazing block print fabric!}

A Little Sunday Morning Decorating Inspiration…

Here are a few ideas for a quick bathroom update from The Nest:

{1} I love the bohemian theme of bright walls and a block print shade
{2} or the crafty necklace display (your own art!) in the second photo
{3} the clean lines and fantastic contrasting colors and textures found in the third picture
{4} and finally the striped walls that make this bathroom work so well in the final pic

I hope you’re having a wonderful Sunday!
