Revamp A Lamp

Really quick - simple, in fact.  Revamp a lamp.  Make it suit your style & decor. 

Here's an example:

I found this lamp at a local thrift store for $5 (no shade, mind you)
Found a black shade at a garage sale for $1 (basic, no character, just blah, but will do)
Added a feather boa to trim the shade for $5 at a local party store....


Voila!  It sits on my sofa table & never fails - I always get compliments when others visit.  EVEN my husband, who is a no foofoo (I'm pretty sure that's just a southern word) kinda guy, loves it.  Best part about it?  It cost ELEVEN bucks.  So, don't go spend crazy amounts of money on lighting, Fancy Pants, go revamp a lamp!
