$1.50 Light Fix
Happy Labor Day! I promise yous bring a relaxing hateful solar daytime spent amongst theatre unit of measurement in addition to friends.
I but wanted to portion a quick fixer-upper. I bought these lamps several years agone at Hobby Lobby lxxx or 90% off.
Loved them equally they were in addition to they were the perfect size to flank my mantel...I honey using lighting on the mantel! I bring enjoyed them but am gradually moving away from then much cherry inward the theatre unit of measurement room, then I pose them away for a while. When the fourth dimension came to describe them out in addition to purpose them ane time to a greater extent than (I bring a big stash of accessories that I switch out all the time, produce you?), I searched high in addition to depression for novel shades. Not an tardily task, beingness that these shades are rattling tall in addition to narrow. Usually I but recover a shade that I'm tired of, but this ane had curvy lines that would bring made it actually difficult. I couldn't walk into Ross or Target similar I commonly produce in addition to choice upward a replacement. I'm certain I could bring works life some online or from a fancy lighting shop that would bring been the correct size, but I wasn't willing to musical rhythm out out the big bucks that I knew I'd bring to pay.
I lastly pulled out the pair of scissors ready to snip off the one-time shade in addition to endeavor purpose it equally a blueprint to fashion some kind of novel one, when a idea popped into my head. Paint fixes everything, right? Especially dark paint! Why non endeavor epitome them? I was originally looking for a white shade, but knew that white wouldn't move over the cherry fabric. I purpose a lot of dark accents then I decided to endeavor it.
I used a bottle of Fabric Medium from Hobby Lobby in addition to mixed some amongst my dark acrylic paint. Not certain that you'd actually bring to purpose the medium but I idea it mightiness aid the pigment become on the cloth to a greater extent than smoothly.
Using a foam brush, I applied the pigment amongst a lite impact equally evenly equally possible, beingness careful around the edges to larn a build clean line. I did let on that if I pressed besides firmly the pigment soaked through to the white silk liner underneath.
After the showtime coat I placed the shade dorsum on the base of operations amongst the lite on in addition to could all the same encounter the cherry showing through, then I painted a 2nd coat. Perfect! All it took was less than 2 dollars for the pigment in addition to close xx minutes.
I mean value the darker shades add together a impact of sophistication in addition to are a prissy contrast to the brick.
In my persuasion they await ameliorate than whatever replacement shade I mightiness bring found. Do yous bring an tardily create for tired lampshades?
