Before.....floral shade and cream colored base
I first cut off the floral material - leaving the white lining intact
Next I tore some white muslin material into approximately 1" x 6" strips and tied three each onto each spine
To the bottom edge I hot glued some
vintage trim that I purchased a few months ago. I was short by about a 1/2" but with the shade adjusted just so....the "bald spot" is hidden in the back!
I stamped a strip of muslin with some French script and hot glued it to the top of the shade
Lastly....I sprayed the lamp base a flat white and "voila"! my floor lamp is back in my good graces! :)

Diane,
So happy to know you frequent my space...I remember you bought that sweet little cupboard! I'll be sure to let you ladies know if I decide to put that french wire laundry basket up for sale. It may be sooner than later, as I'm struggling to find a spot for it in my home that we're not tripping over. By the way, love your little lamp...very creative!

Hi Diane!
Just wanted you to know (should you be interested) that I just put that french wire laundry basket in my space tonight at the WCS.
She looks lovely! Enjoy your evening...hope you're staying cool.
Blessings,

I love that lamp. It turned out great. I have a green lamp just like it so maybe I will give it a try. Glad I found your blog

Hi Diane, I am a new blogger and was just blessed with coming across your blog.
You are one creative lady! You have created an amazing blog with so much EYE CANDY I found myself hitting the Older Posts button over and over because I couldn't seem to get enough of your talent. I am now a faithful follower and will be visiting often to see what marvelous things you are up to.
BTW I have 2 of these lamps in storage, I got them at a great deal ($5 can you believe it?)
I rewired them for next to nothing but I just did not know how to incorporate them in my home. You have given me a great idea, thank you!
Hi Diane, This is my first time here, and I 'm so glad I found you out. It looks to be a blog I will enjoy because white is my all time favorite color. I'll be back to really browse through. You did a great job on the lampshade!
Have a Wonderful Day*
