This Lamp Shade Rules...

This Lamp Shade Rules the House...

I went to my favorite grocery store, Raley's, yesterday. Went in to buy some staples and a birthday card.

Then I spied this...

 I found this plant container in the area of the cards & gifts. 

An idea POPPED into my head!

 I had just bought some paint sticks to possibly use for a lamp shade. I even thought about using yard sticks. 

I had seen this version of paint sticks on Pinterest!

So, I turned the planter

 OVER! TA-DAH...Lamp Shade! HOW EASY PEASY!!!!

 One drilled hole and I'm in business!!! WHOO-HOO...

 I stopped and bought a lamp harp and a finial for the top of the new shade!

 I had bought this lamp about five years ago at Target. I love the gray shade and the bronze lamp. BUT, I had recently change the lamps in the guest room....That's when I decided to surprise my Grandson with a new lamp for HIS new room! 

I measured the center of the bottom (now the new top) for the hole to attach to the lamp.

 It took 2 seconds to drill the hole!

 All DONE! I love how it looks!!!!

 I found the perfect finial to finish the lamp!

I'm super excited to give it to my Grandson!

 Here is the lamp in another area. 

MMmmm, I may have to make some lamps for ME! 

Here's a sneak peak of my Grandson's room....His Mom is still working on it!!! You will have to check out her blog post at Trendy Treehouse (HERE).
