I have a lovely yellow lamp that I bought years ago in Macon, Georgia. When we lived in the apartment I really wanted this lampshade, but instead DIYed the lampshade with a yellow bamboo fabric, and it looked nice:
Unfortunately, it was involved in a minor mishap prior to moving and I took the fabric off the lampshade to wash it. I washed it, and then.....I have no idea where that fabric is. Not a clue. I put it in a safe place, I'm sure. I have looked everywhere, but it hasn't shown up.
Since I can't find the the fabric to recover it, I took some pompoms--I love pompoms!--and glued them to the bottom of the shade.
Sophisticated? Not so much. But cute, sure! The bamboo fabric was my favorite, and if I ever find it again I will use it WITH the pompoms. Double the goodness!
You know you are kind of obsessed with pompoms when your husband stands in Target, picks up a lampshade and says "how about this one? You could pompom the hell out of it."
