my new apartment has NO overhead lighting in any of the main rooms except the bathrooms and the kitchen, so I'm really delving into lamps!
My bedroom has a preppy pink blue and white theme. the comforter is a pink and white stripe with blue sheets and striped pillows. i desperately wanted a bedside lamp and today i found not one but two great ones! I decided the blue was just too perfect and to conquer it first.
I found the most amazing shade at goodwill on folly road. it was small enough for the lamp (also from that same goodwill) but had some excitement- double shades. more excitement- high school musical 3d motif! yeah, it needed to be recovered.
I also picked up 2 "Seersucker" mens dress shirts at the same goodwill. i felt slightly bad cutting up the jcrew one, but i think ive got plans for the leftovers.
I realized the HSM print would def show through this thin fabric, so i put a thicker layer of white beneath it first, then hot glued on my fabric.
LOVES IT!
