I have a sentimental Ralph Lauren lamp that’s been with my girls through college moves and memories. Now, its worn shade needed a refresh. Since finding a replacement proved tricky, I decided to DIY a pleated lampshade. It’s the perfect chance to breathe new life into this super cute piece. Read on to see the before picture and step by step guide!
Inspired by the timeless charm of textured pottery and terra cotta pieces from West Elm and Pottery Barn, I decided to create my own version using a few supplies I already had on hand. This modern black jug, a budget-friendly Marketplace find, had the perfect size and shape but needed a little makeover to better suit my style. With minimal materials and a bit of creativity, I transformed it into a beautiful neutral piece with a textured finish that adds warmth and character to any space. Here’s how you can achieve this look in just a few simple steps!
The old toy storage unit we'd relegated to the garage was revived to greatness! With a little creative thinking and the help of our carpenter, we transformed this outdated piece into a custom-looking built-in. New cabinet doors, simplified trim, and a fresh coat of paint worked wonders. The best part? It cost a fraction of a custom unit while providing all the storage and display space we needed.
I transformed these Amazon finds into the CUTEST multipurpose seating! A little spray paint and suddenly they're perfectly matching our living room decor. They are ideal for extra seating, cozy footrests, housing extra pillows, or stashing favorite books and puzzles to have on hand.
Pro tip: They tuck away easily when not in use and are a useful, versatile addition to our home!
