Going to Build

Stenciled Lampshade

Yesterday I decided to change up my milk glass lamp. You may remember that it looked like this ...


Perfectly fine, I just wanted to make it a little more exciting. So using what I had around the house, I spray painted the shade white, stenciled with my greek key inspired stencil, and reapplied the trim  (minus the green) with grosgrain trim on top.


I like the repetition of the pattern from the pin board to the shade. Repetition is a great way to keep a space cohesive especially when using multiple patterns!

I moved my current desk to make room for the new desk (finished photos soon!) so I took a few photos on the writing desk in the guest room.





So in about 30 minutes (not including spray paint drying time) and zero dollars in new supplies, my lamp has a brand look! Doesnt get much better than a simple update that costs nothing!
