another MINI MONDAY MAKEOVER

My dad and nephew came to visit this weekend. I attempted to redo my bedroom. No success, but I did manage to redo a lamp and a small project.

Janel, from Isabella and Max  recently recovered a lampshade. So I decided, perhaps I, a guy, could follow along and reproduce it. I did. And I added one more thing. Take a look.




The twist..the GOLD lamp shade interior.
inspired by this...
 as you can tell...the gold interior gives an awesome ambience at night...
the possibilities are endless...

Hi Mr Goodwill! Love the site Makeover!

This is such a great Idea, I was thinking of doing the same with gold leaf but the plastic inside of most lamp shades wont hold the glue. Is it just cardboard that you glued inside?

Recent Follower, LOVING your blog. U live in an area where you can find amazing castaway items for cheap and I for one am jealous :) PLEASE PLEASE share what you used for the gold foil in your lampshade. I recently went to a lamp shade store here in NYC and they wanted $400.00 I was like ???? would love to try and attempt this myself. Cheers!
