Lamp Re-Created

I didn't get my project done in time to enter it in the

CSI

Challenge for this week.

We were challenged to make something that was

Ballard Design Inspired.

I may not have finished in time for the challenge

But

I have a beautiful "new" lamp for my home

What could be better

And

To top it off

It was  oh, so much cheaper.

This is what I started with

I bought 2 lamps from DI

each costing $3

(I am getting ready to spray paint)

This was my inspiration

From Ballard Design.

Lamp base $69

Lamp shade $40

Oh, No!

Not paying that!

This is Karie Design

And oh, so much cheaper

Lamp base $3

Lamp shade $1

(already had the shade, fabric $1)

Oh, so cute in my home

I had never done a shade before

Now I know some tricks I would do next time.

A Karie Design

Thanks Ballard for the idea.

But

Hmmmm, I like mine best.

But I am linking this to  my other Bloggy friends.
