I'm ...That’s a wonderful transformation, Nancy! I'm sure Owen was really amazed with the end result. Anyway, I think you can also stick some cutout stencils on the shade. It can add a stunning effect when you turn the lamp on at night. Anyway, thanks for sharing that awesome DIY project! All the best!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.douthitelectrical.com/" rel="nofollow">Bryan Hubbard @ Douthit Electrical</a><br />Bryan Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004956396863209697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372342528798706517.post-50083068809201424942013-01-15T21:10:33.388-05:002013-01-15T21:10:33.388-05:00Your pendant looks fantastic! Thanks for the tuto...Your pendant looks fantastic! Thanks for the tutorial. Hope you don't mind me adding another suggestion, but if you you want to add some glitz to your shade you can always paint the inside of it using a metallic paint provided its interior has a hard surface property. In other words if it is NOT fabric. <br /><br />There are two methods of doing it:<br />Supplies: 1) Metallic paint in your colour choice. Water-base acrylic preferably. <br />ie: Crafters paint that usually come in 2 fl. oz. size bottles. <br />2) Sponge brush and container for paint and/or a can of Spray Paint.<br />3) Plastic to protect the outer part of the shade. Painters tape to hold it in place. <br /><br />Method: Using the above supplies, apply protective covering to outside of shade.<br /> Evenly apply one light coat. Let dry. Re-apply another coat and test when the fixture is lit. If you feel you require additional coats, then re-apply. <br /><br />Footnote: Silver does 'not' have the tendency to turn a white shade into a different colour when illuminated; whereas gold sometimes will cast a pink tone even if it is black. <br /><br />-Brenda-<br /> mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372342528798706517.post-74736214983375861002013-01-05T08:12:44.275-05:002013-01-05T08:12:44.275-05:00Thanks Jessi.

They used fabric and glued it to the shade. They also attached the shade directly to the light itself, which is nice too.<br /><br />http://www.younghouselove.com/2010/06/office-progress-let-there-be-light/<br /><br />Best of luck!Nancy@owensoliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151925593548938961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372342528798706517.post-17028401492859971742012-11-15T14:00:45.878-05:002012-11-15T14:00:45.878-05:00That looks amazing!
