Like we talked about last week, one of the easiest ways to make a cheap lamp shade look special is to add some simple ribbon trim.

I bought a $13 square lamp shade at Target (only available in stores, not on the website).


With this shade from a Miles Redd decorated space as my inspiration, I added some 1/4″ black grosgrain trim to each edge with a little Fabritac and a steady hand.


I like the way the shade looks on my 10 Euro alabaster lamp we bought in Brussels.


Happy Monday!!
