So yesterday I mentioned that I sent some of my furniture away via Craigslist. Well, at the very last second, I changed my mind about the lamps. Well, they are my lamps, right?
So I set them aside because I had a little last minute thought that they might work with a different lamp shade in my bedroom. The lamps belonged to Mr. CHiPy before we got married and they weren't my favorite and since I no longer needed the end tables, I thought that I didn't need the lamps either.
Wrong. My bedroom nightstands needed them.
Here was a part of the original group on its way to another home...

Nice, eh? I think so. But the lamp shades had to go. I've seen lots of lampshade makeovers all over blogland recently and it gave me the courage to try a little burlap love.
AFTER:Such a simple makeover and such a BIG improvement. I love 'em.
