It has occurred to me that we haven't had a DIY Friday in sometime. So here is my weekend challenge. While browsing in Brooklyn Heights over the summer a quick trip into decor mecca, Nova Zembla, revealed a lighting lover's paradise. Aren't these lamps awesome? I fell hard for the colorful bases and kicky printed shades. Sadly, kicky prints meant pricey. But, I knew this a project a praticalista could pull off!

If you have a tired lampshade that's just begging for a makeover, Better Homes and Garden has a great
tutorial that details how to create a swanky fabric-covered lampshade. So grab your fave fabrics and start gluing! And please do share your success stories. I'd love to see the results!
Have a great weekend!

Great idea....Now I need the large snazzy shade...so I can cover it!
I am loving all that vintage lighting! Especially the aqua one at the bottom center of your montage ...
Ya know, I'm not sure if they're vintage but they are lovely. Definitely unique accent pieces. Glad you like :-)
