Lampshade Lovin'

I adore the lampshades at Anthropologie, but no way am I paying over $100 for a shade. I did however leave the store with a fabulous pillow on clearance for $29 that became my inspiration for a custom lampshade in the living room. When I found this light blue lamp on clearance at TJ Maxx for $21, I knew it was perfect for the mini-makeover. Lampshade started as a very common white. I purchased a quarter of a yard (yes, just a quarter) of fabric from Joann's for a mere $3 as well as fabric iron-on adhesive. Add a few rhinestone buttons and some decorative fringe for the base of the shade and I was on my way to my anthropologie inspired lampshade party.

This is the reinvented shade, with the inspiration pillow below. It's a nice touch of sun to an otherwise very wintery living room scape.
