Lamp Light

simple lamp + scarf = pretty!

I needed a lamp for my bedside table so I went to the thrift store to see if I could find anything funky. I didn't really find anything too interesting, but I did end up with a very simple lamp from Ikea and headscarf. I really like how it turned out! PLUS the scarf dims the light (and there isn't enough heat to harm the scarf). When the decor of my room changes, I can simply change the scarf ;) ENJOY!

Instructions

  1. Small lamp1 1289425533

    find a lamp. This is the one I found at a thrift store. I suppose any sort of regular lamp shade could work as well.

  2. Small lamp2 1289425534

    choose a scarf. Any old scarf, made with a lightweight fabric, will do. Even some scrap material you have around!

  3. Small lamp3 1289425536

    Tie the scarf around the lamp. I had to adjust the scarf to fit around the corners of the lamp...
