15 min Lamp redo- Sheer Fabric and Paint

I got this old lamp from some missionary friends that were moving.  It wasn't my style but it was cheap. It had a bronze finish with little gems dangling from the lamp. 
Sorry, I didn't take a before picture.


I painted the base YELLOW!  and I covered the shade with a yard of sheer gray fabric. I just wrapped it around the lamp and pinned it on one end.  I change things up a lot in my home so I didn't want to sew anything on to the shade. 

Thanks to a sweet friend who picked this LOVELY duvet up for me at Target and mailed it!!! We can't find that kind of chicness here without paying major $$$$.  So this got me inspired and I finally decorated our room.  I also got around to hanging the faux capiz chandelier I made a couple of months ago. The tutorial for the faux capiz chandelier is here

    Yellow and gray work so well together! And I how simple your room is, but is still eye catching. Great job on both!
