I always enjoy seeing old, outdated lamps and lampshades transformed into something that is pretty and modern. This great lampshade makeover from A Smith Of All Trades has a wonderful hand stitched detail that gives it a casual look, and fabric flowers that add a bit of whimsy.

Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.
