Ruffled Lampshades


I recently bought two new lamps but I wasn't in love with the lampshades, so I got a sewing machine out and made some ruffles. I bought muslin, tore it into strips, gathered it and hot glued it on the lampshades. I love how they turned out!

I made this flower with some of the scraps of muslin.




I recently painted this piece of furniture black and distressed it, but as usual I forgot to take a before picture.
Hanging horizontally above the mirror is a repurposed shutter I also spray painted black. I love this mirror. I bought it at Golightly's.
