This is a quick, easy, and inexpensive idea that will add a lot of charm to your room. This chandelier was purchased at Lowe’s and came with small white lampshades. Using fabric remnants that I had on hand, I covered the shades in various, coordinating fabrics.
All it took was a hot glue gun, inexpensive beaded trim that I found at Hobby Lobby, leftover fabrics, and an afternoon. Covering shades is not unique, but using different fabrics makes this project one-of-a-kind–and pretty darned charming, I think! I have to credit my old friend Tracey D. for this idea. I think little, unexpected touches like this keep a room from being too stuffy and add a subtle feeling of whimsy.
