When you're in the Trash to Treasure business, you soon learn a few things.
1. You never have enough flat places when you are getting ready for a sale...like tables, dressers, etc. to set stuff on. The accumulated home accessories out number the places to display them at a ratio of 100 to 1.
2. The weather usually refuses to cooperate - at least on one day of a two day sale.
3. If you have one lamp and 12 shades...none of the the shades will look right and/or fit the lamp.
So when I saw Renee's Shabby, Chic and Charming blog about decorating lampshades with coffee filters, why wouldn't I be interested???
Here's my attempt at beautifying an ugly shade that has been around the block a few times.
I think it looks better on Renee's site...at least I don't have a lot of money invested!!! It's so heavy that I had to reinforce the wire in the shade.
Hmmm...
Off to do something else...
