I love lamp

On the same trip to Goodwill when I found my little mirrors (see post below), I found this lamp.  It was $5.00.



The base of the lamp is really nice and solid, but the lamp shade was old and a bit tattered.  I had some fabric laying around that I had picked up at Hobby Lobby (I really just had to have this fabric although at the time I had no idea what to do with it). 
I recovered the existing lamp shade with my cool fabric using a hot glue gun. 
On the inside of the shade, I wrapped orange and white ribbon around the edges of the fabric for a cleaner look---- well, really to hide the hot glue mess!



Now I want another big heavy lamp for the other side of the couch, but I'm thinking that this $5.00 bargain was a once-in-a-lifetime find!
