I liked the color of the existing fixture, just not the shade. So, instead of buying a new fixture, I replaced the ugly shade with a small, linen lamp shade from
Target! The shade I used does not have a harp, so to attach it to the fixture, I just screwed the light bulb in and allowed the round metal piece in the center to rest on the light bulb....
This is the updated fixture....
It was really that simple! After switching out the shades, I remember looking at light fixtures in a magazine and saw some pendant lights that looked exactly like this for $129! I paid $12.99 for each shade and had a brand new light fixture without having to install anything!
Well that's it for today. I'll be back tomorrow with some Thanksgiving Table place settings.
Remember, when life hands you lemons, turn them into something lovely!
