I got the idea for this lamp at Not Just a Housewife. The minute I saw it, I knew I had to make one. I did not, however attempt to make a hand painted lampshade. LOL
For the lampshade, I just hot glued clothesline rope all the way around all the way up - I used a lampshade that I already had. I tea stained the rope so that it would look more like twine. I know, I know - it probably would have been easier to just buy twine. But I already had the rope and I wanted to finish the lamp. The wood was all scrap wood that we cut different sizes and drilled holes in. I already had the stain (Minwax Dark Walnut)
The only thing I had to purchase for this project was the lamp kit, which was around $10 at Lowes.
This lamp will also be part of my Master Bedroom Makeover which is coming along nicely!
The pictures are unedited because I was having Picasa issues. Seems like I always have picture issues... what can I say, I'm not a photographer. :)
The side table was a previous Master Bedroom Makeover post. Bedroom is coming along nicely. Next big project is to paint our bureau and dresser. I have 2 50% off coupons from Michaels, so I think I am going to get some spray paint from there for the dressers.
Happy Monday everyone!!

I have always admired that lamp she did and your looks just as beautiful! I am not brave enough to attempt that hand painted shade either :) I LOVE the way your lamp shade turned out. Great idea!
This came out really cute!
