Also? I Finished Something!

Finally. I actually completed a project. Which is difficult, since so much of the stuff in my life is ongoing. But. I finally finished the lamps I built for my nephew's room.

Let me clarify. I built the shades. I found the lamps and built the shades. The only original pieces of the lampshades left are the rings from which they hang. I found the design in a book and adapted it to fit the colors (hopefully) and themes of the baby's room.

Only one of the lamps is turned on because I don't remember what I did with the other bulb. This way you get a nice contrast, I think. And a better idea of how they'll look both off and on.

Cool. To me, it's very retro-looking.

Thanks. I think it does to. I hope my brother & sister-in-law like it too.

Welcome!
