Lamp Rejuvenation

I love lamps. I think they give the perfect amount of light to make any room look cozy! I've had this silver ball lamp for awhile now, but it has never made me want to cuddle next to it and read one of my favorite books with a warm cup of coffee... Aaah.
Anyways...


Cool, right? Too bad it doesn't match the warm, natural colors of our living room! Looks like a project for me! A couple coats of Heirloom White, and she's all set.
I bought this basic shade at Walmart and hot glued this ribbon to the bottom to give it a little more life.


And here it is! Finally done... Maybe?
It still looked a little lonely to me...
So I added this wreath that I've had just waiting for a new home! I think I love it... but I'm not sure if it looks a little too "giant egg sitting in a nest"...?!
What do you think? Wreath or no wreath?

  1. oops.. left a comment but I accidentally clicked off before seeing if it was posted. Hopefully this is not a duplicate. Love your lamp. I want to add ribbon trim to one of mine. How did you attach it? Also, I vote for no wreath just b/c I like plain and simple. But for holidays, the wreath is a nice touch.
