Ever wonder why you haven't seen the ceiling in any of my photos yet? Because it looks like this
Builder grade in EVERY newer house flush mounted light - nothing exciting about it ...
Now that we have a place to store the old light (which will be reinstalled when we move out) I can put whatever I want up there :)
And the best part is that it only took about 5 minutes - I glue ribbon and taped to secure it - wrapped around the shade and folded the edge over and glued and taped to hold it in place - and repeated two more times - a super easy way to add a bit of color to a plain shade
Now I just have to figure out how to mount it ...
I am very excited to share the dresser with you tomorrow - I think it turned out great and it definitely looks completely different!
I would love to know how you actually mounted the lampshade. I have a builder grade fixture I would love to change.

DeleteI love this shade makeover!! I want to do something similar to the boring white pendant in my dinning room, only in navy. Would you kindly share your source for the ribbon. I have been a reader of yours for a while, and I have yet to be disappointed in your work, everything looks fabulous!!
