I had these lovely buffet lamps, but didn't have any shades for them.

I found some shades, but they were

1. too plain and

2. a little too short for the lamps.

I knew I would need something to extend the shades down a bit AND make them more romantic.

I thought of a crystal beaded trim, feather trim, even just a plain gimp type trim,

 but those just didn't seem foo fooey enough for my taste and some just wouldn't extend the lampshades down far enough either.

 :-)

 I found these BEAUTIFUL roses at a local store and immediately knew what I wanted to do to my lamps.

I felt like Morticia Adams pulling the rose heads off all the stems!

Of course, unlike Morticia, I wanted the flowers not the stems. :)

 The process was SUPER easy.....pull off flower heads, hot glue on the bottom edge of the lamp shade. Presto, change-o...........new romantic lampshades!

I did help the flowers "bloom" out a little more so they would be fluffier on my lampshades. :)

 I think it made a HUGE difference. The roses extended the lampshades down enough and definitely made the plain jane shades more romantic. I am MORE than pleased with the outcome! Don't cha' love it when a plan comes together!

 :)

Have a blessed day!
