Table Lamp Before and After...

I bought this table lamp at Home Goods only because I liked the base... the shade...not so much

I really liked the all the detail but the color....not so much

The finial...round and ho-hum... not so much

So using what I had in my stash... I took her from this...

To this

Chantilly Lace paint and some spot sanding

A rose finial

A curtain tieback tassel

A linen-like shade embellished with stamped muslin squares (143 = I Love You) which I haven't as yet attached permanently because I'm not so sure...

What do you all think.... plain or fancied?

Stamped Muslin Squares....

I hand sewed a set of 12 (spaced 3" apart) onto a Country Living white curtain valance

Using a tension rod, I hung the valance on the bottom half of my hoosier cabinet - hiding the slatted sliding doors that have never slid with ease or without cracking.

This is a before pic of the hoosier from my archives

And YEAH! I still have another set of 12 to have fun and create with!
