Hi, I’m Sara from applestone drive! I’m a newbie blogger showcasing simple DIY projects, sharing stories of family, faith and adoption and trying to figure out computer jargon, photography and linky parties along the way! You can also check me out on Pinterest or Facebook! I’m so thrilled to be guest posting here at The Taylor House. Such an honor!
Recently, I begged asked my readers for help in beautifying my lamp shades in my master bedroom. I have seen so many creative and gorgeous ideas for making shades not so plain and I just couldn’t decide what mine needed. You can click on over to see some ideas I pinned and read more about what I was working with but here is the bottom line:
I love, love, love my lamps. They were a Craigslist find years ago – $5 each! I also love my nightstands (from a flea market) but I felt like there was something missing: color!
Then I found a trim in a coordinating color at JoAnn’s. I was going to use grosgrain ribbon but they didn’t have the width I wanted. Thankfully, I found hem tape in the same shade for a cheaper price than the ribbon.
I’m also glad it seems suitable for a master bedroom. It couldn’t be too girly or frilly since I do share the space with a boy. 🙂 And, a final look with the before and after:
Wow.. what great ideas! I love the lamps.. and the yellow desk! Heading over there now 🙂
Sara wonderful job with the lamps, love the birds.
Wow- a shower curtain transformed into lamp shades!! Love the birds and the fabric trim is sweet too. I'll be sure to stop by applestone drive today.
Thanks! I know that Sara would love to have you stop in!
Love the lamps, great job Sara!!

The birds are a wonderful idea! Those, along with the trim, make this truly custom and I don't notice anything from the first disaster. ~ Maureen
I really like the birds too! She did an awesome job!
