As I was looking through Instagram photos the other day … amid all of the kid and vacation pictures, up came this cute lampshade!
I love it … who’s is it? I thought. When I looked further I saw that my beautiful niece Mallory had posted the picture.
I quickly commented on it … “Mallory! Did you make this?”
Indeed she did! She wrote me back …
The lamp is from Target and was about $10. I used a fine point sharpie and
got used quotes from movies, celebrities, & songs! Just wrote the quotes in
cursive around in a circle and worked my way down, very easy and took about
45 min! I made it for my new house at school because we needed some cute &
cheap decorations!

How great is that? Talk about Design on a Dime! Mallory is going to be a junior at Mizzou and I just love that she came up with this great way to turn a plain lamp into such a statement piece … literally!
I think you could adapt this in so many ways … favorite poems, meaningful songs, lullabies or nursery rhymes for a child’s room. You can really personalize it any way you want.
Thanks to Mallory for letting me share her brilliant idea! (And thank you too for such blog-worthy photos … these are great!)
She did a great job!
