Frumpy to Fab

So my parents are building a new house and in the process they've been De-cluttering the house and going through all the unwanted Junk. We  had this cute little lamp and debated sending it off to the DI, but i decided it was perfect for a redo. I've seen the coffee filter lamp shade idea and wanted to do one so bad! I love all things furry and feminine and this one was perfect for me. 

I switched out the lamp shade for a more circular shape that i got at the DI for $1. I wasn't sure if the flowers would show through so just to be safe i used a plain shade... but I'm sure you could use a pattern as well. I initially got one pack of 100 coffee filters {4cup size} and just barely ran out at the end and had to go buy another bag to finish. The Lamp color is Catalina Mist from hobby Lobby and I primed the dark brown with a white primer.

The trick to speeding up the actual gluing process is using a wide tip marker for your base. You gather the filter around the marker as shown above and hot glue the base of the filter. Then use the marker to press the filter to the shade and hold until secure. I used a basic size shade, but after your done the shade expands by 2-3 inches {FYI}

I'm in love with it.

Happy Thursday! Almost the Weekend!!!

7 Things On March 7th...

. 1.Babysat my sweet baby cousins yesterday with Cory in an attempt to get some "baby hungry" out of me. Turns out it backfired and has had me swooning over them all day long. I just can't get enough perfect baby closet ideas

 

2. I recently bought a new tan summer purse, only to finally learn that i HATE deep bottomless soft bag's that have no hard bottom. Lesson Learned. At 22 I have finally figured out that hard bottom purses are my true loves.

3. I love Subway. I do. I never get tired of it and never feel guilty for it. BUT... Big "BUTT" but. Who was the wise guy who put the best chocolate chip cookies known to man at a place where we eat to avoid Chocolate of any kind? AND at the Cash Register. They stare me down and Beg me {Scream at me} to buy them. So i want to know who, whose idea was it? 

4. I'm a little crazy for name polish. Have you seen this stuff?

Orange, Its Obvious. They need to quit making this. Do we really need a polish in every shade? Yes..Yes we do.

 

5. Did you see American Idol tonight? I'm not an avid AI fan but i have a weak spot for crazy vocals. This little girl sang Whitney Houston -I will always love you. I thought she was crazy to even attempt it, and then this happened.. 

6. Old Navy has some Reallly cute things right now. Really. Look.

Everything under $20. 

7. I think I'd feel safer being home alone if i had this little guy protecting me... 

 Wouldn't You? Lets talk Cory into it. I  could call him pet names, Carry him in my large {hard bottomed} Purses, Feed him Human food and wake up with him in the middle of the night to go potty. And finally, I'd have a dog that doesn't Mourn when it stays with me. ah hem {cola!}

Happy Thursday!

Lola~

 Happy Birthday to the Beibs!

Ps. Don't go bad boy on us.
