Recovering a Lampshade...it's as Easy as Typing a Blog!

Back in October, Stephen and I purchased a generic lamp set from Target because we had no light sources for our family room.  You know what I'm talking about, the very simple and basic box of 4 lamps in it that come with the plain, white lampshades.  Ever since I saw this I wanted to add just a simple finish to my lampshades.

The best thing was that it was super cheap and easy to do!  You can do this!  Just go here and follow the step-by-step pictures and tutorials that Suzanne at Just Another Hang Up gives you - it's a little time consuming but so worth it.

You can do this yourself for WAY cheaper...I think mine cost me somewhere in the ballpark of $7???? (mind you, I already had the shade).

I hope you're having a fantastic weekend!
