I had my heart set on this lamp from Z Gallerie but I couldn't bring myself to fork out the cash for a lamp... a lamp that will probably get pulled off the table 100 times by a baby.
I typically don't have old stuff lying around the house {because I'm so the opposite of a pack rat}. For some reason I had held onto this lamp base and was using it my very sad and barren guest room. The old lamp shade had already been donated to good will. I searched high and low for a white lamp shade and my last option was Lamps Plus. Apparently I should have shopped there first because I scored a $12 clearance shade that was perfect. {And don't judge my horribly taken photos in the dark.}

Spray paint is officially my new best friend. And have you tried Fabri-Tac? That glue is amazing... the ribbon attached in seconds flat and it looked so smooth and good.
