I love what Champagne Taste did with her lamp shade! A little paint, a silver leafed base, and an adorable silver ruffled ribbon flower makes it brand new! I LOVE IT!
Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't normally call a recipe trash-to-treasure...but our trifle resulted from a cake our daughter decided to tear up with a toothpick...
I think it ended up tasting better than the frosted cake would have though. ;)
Thank you so much for featuring my Lamp :) what a nice surprise
