This lamp sits in the children’s nursery. It’s been such a great lamp and we’ve had it for at least 3 years. I love it because it’s a dimmer switch lamp, so I can adjust it according to our lighting needs whether it be for reading, playing, or a night light. It’s very practical, but has lots of possibilities…
I’m going through a SLOW process of “redecorating” the nursery {not that it was ever truly decorated} and keep my eye out (while running errands) for anything that will fit the needs of what I’m going for in there {whatever that is}. It will eventually be for the two girls, but as for now, it is a boy/girl nursery. So here this lamp sits. Being useful.
Then, while looking for a pan at TJ Maxx Home, I fell upon this:
Being the flower/ruffle/light and airy look woman that I am, I fell in love! Immediately I KNEW what lamp I needed to apply this technique to. So that night I got busy making these:
I used the only white and airy fabrics I had on hand. It was the perfect night to do a project with my honey out of town and the kids all in bed while watching Sense and Sensability {for the umpteenth time}. So the next day I started hot glueing, and couldn’t remember what that shade looked like. So I drug all my little people back to TJ’s and took a pic for details:
And resisted to buy this lamp yet again. Heaven knows we have enough lamps in our house! Then I went home and glued some more. I had just the right amount of
fluffy circles to do this:
I was afraid it would look funny since it was on a more inverted lampshade. But I am pleased with the results. Especially at night:
It almost makes me wish I’d done the whole thing in tone on tone print!
Aren’t they Fun?!
Can’t wait to work on the rest of the nursery because while I was in the check-out line at Maxx’s-These fun knobs caught my eye for that dresser re-do.
(More on that later)

I am sorry you had trouble linking at Bacon Time. I linked something up just now myself to check that it was working and all is fine. I use the most expspensive linky tool hoping to avoid problems but you can never avoid all issues I guess. Hope you will come back and join the fun. The linky will be up until Monday at Midnight, so no rush and it will be weekly. Your lamp is beautiful!

I love how the lamp turned out!! Funny thing about T J Maxx and picture taking. I was trying to snap a quick pic of a dress once and so got nailed by an associate who informed me I couldn't take the pics per policy even though I knew it wasn't illegal or anything which is clearly proved by your quick snaps…lol. I also love the knobs you picked up which already look cute with the lamp.A new follower from the Market Your Biz & Giveaway Party Hop!! Happy to meet you 🙂
