Sophia I love it. I also love the fact that you're ok if it's not perfect! I think it fits perfectly in your living room. You inspire me so much to try things even if I'm not an expert at least I can try my best! I love all of your DIYs and even more so that you claim you're not a professional and will just do the best you can. It gives us all a feeling just to go out and try something even if you haven't done it before.😊
I bought some cheap lampshades from the dollar store a while ago. They were almost like a burlap fabric and had an orange chevron pattern. I don't particular love the color orange. So after a few weeks of dealing with it I painted both shades all over with some aqua colored paint I had left over from when I painted my front door. The effect was the neatest thing! The burlap took the paint so nicely! I started to spray paint them but the burlap wasn't sticking the way I wanted it to. So I love little projects like this! I love the outcome and I love that lamp base! In my moms family we are all huge history buffs and that lamp could fit in any of our homes! I have a cousin that has a burgundy colored bedroom and over his bed he has three enormous portraits of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. That lamp would right at home in his bedroom.
I love it! It's an original and way better than just buying a lamp shade from some big box store. It's a great piece and looks beautiful in your home.
Sophia, you are amazing. The lampshade looks fantastic, and you are an absolute creative artist! This looks like it took a lot of patience, and the outcome was worth it.
+friendoftherese1 I noticed that some comments indicate that the shade does not fit the Federal style, but I say "Who cares?" Where is the rule that says you can't mix styles if the outcome is fabulous? The fact that you plunged in and did it yourself is just awesome. Keep at it girlfriend!
+friendoftherese1 it s true it does not match and yes I do not care - I needed to have something other than busted black and that works for me
Sophia don't talk it down because it's so, so nice. Very professional. I absolutely love it.
A lot better then what you'd buy at the store that's for sure! Great job as always Sophia!👍🏾
+DIY@Home thank you
Your very welcome!
You did a great job Sophia! Your blouse is really pretty and that color is beautiful on you 🎀
Great job, nothing ventured nothing gained. Looks good brighter than the black shade and I think the gold lining is oh so cool.
Hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter.
I love the gold inside. I do this to my lamps too, it gives a soft warm glow in the evening, as opposed to the glare that white insides can sometimes give. you did a lovely job on the shade, your patience with glue is something I will never have.
I think it is a nice improvement over the original lampshade. And I really like the way the inside and the outside paint colors turned out, especially the outside. The texture really looks more like linen to me. Thanks for sharing!
Sophia that looks great and it does go great with your decor. I also love your hairstyle xx
I like the new model of the shade! The ruffle on the bottom I think would have been plenty, with just the braid on top... but it definitely looks brighter. The fact you like the lamp is all that matters! My mother was crazy for Federal style decor. So, it makes me smile to see it!
good job!
I think what you did was a beautiful job. No one will be looking at the lamp as closely as you would. It fits perfectly into the room and blends well. I think perhaps that the eagle base is the real focus. The whole thing is gorgeous. If I went to your house i would never notice the imperfections unless you told me.
Good job Sophia. My favorite is the gold inside. Also the beige looks good with your room. I like fun projects like this. Thumbs up..
+Barbara Von Eitzen thanks Barbara
The gold inside is my favourite, love the finish , l agree a lot betting than before,great job Sophia xxxtfsxxx
Its a definate improvement and suits the living area much better.
Tfs & take care 🌹
love it! you inspire me to do things around my house. great job Sophia!
Great diy .Beautiful lamp
So easy to throw something out and buy new! But to recycle is the best!! 👍
It looks great! I like it.
Your skin looks so nice at the beginning of this video! Whatever you are wearing is making you glow :)
the lamp shade look so nice love it
+beatriz rojas thank you
Its very good Sophia . I had an old lamp and i glued lace over its lampshade and for the top and bottom i glued ribbon with tassels Your idea is wonderful , and the lamp is awesome .
Yes, that's what I was thinking. I hope she does not think I'm being rude, I always like the things she does, and I greatly admire her energy and talent.
Your lampshade turned out very nice! It does look so much brighter and better! I love the gold inside, great idea! I also especially like the cording you used, I think maybe I would have just used the cord around the edge. But, hey, it's your lamp and you can do it the way you like best!! That is the fun part of DIY !! You did a GREAT job!
You inspire me to try. I often don't do things because I'm afraid its not going to be perfect. You took a chance and it came out great!
+Cheri Hendrix thank you, it's your turn now
It looks nice, I like it a lot!
+Mia Orange thank you
Great idea, I have a lamp shade I hate so I'm going to print it! I think it looks good in your room.
Hi Sophia ! Okay, it's not perfect BUT I love this makeover ! This lamp looks definitely new and it goes with your decor. This is so you and you made it, you can be proud of yourself !
Have a good day !
-Sophie
+pixiwoofanfromfrance merci
This blouse is so flattering on you!
You di awesome! Your family is so cute. LOL I enjoyed this. TFS xoxo
Quedó hermoso Sophia! Great job as usual!! Happy Easter!!
I can sense you are ambivalent about the result, and it was fun watching you fearlessly tackle the project. I agree with you that this frilly feminine shade does not really go with your federal lamp. I loved that you posted another video so soon, and I hope you all have a Happy Easter.
Ok sophia you have way more patient then me . Ok when I first seen u doing it I though what but when it was all done sitting there I really like it.
love how you tackle projects,and the gold paint was genius though i would have painted the base maybe white.love your videos
+Jennie Moreno oh no, the base is the best part of the lamp
I use Q-tips for cleaning the nooks and crannies...they work great. Love watching your projects..came out great!
Lovely job Sophia
you did a awesome job
I really like it
Great job💃🏽
If I might make a suggestion, remove the top ruffle, it's distracting, just a little too much. Perhaps, just the braid without the ruffle.
+Donna Shaw I think I agree with you on this, the braid on it's own level with the top. Lorna UK
I think the shade is pewtty, and looks nice in your livingroom.
+Mary Lyons thank you
+My Great Challenge you are welcome..
Sophia, you are such an inspiration to me. Hey, I see that it doesn't fit the federal style, but guess what, you made it. It is much better than the black, it fits in better with the decor and I know you will find the perfect fit soon. You may end up finding a picture of the style you like and you just have to DIY it again. Don't lose hope, you are doing a great job!
Great videos!!!
Great job
Hola Sophia 🌻 eres una inspiración para nosotras.. adoro tus explicaciones, las haces muy divertidas y muy a tu manera, osea, sin poses.. (me encantaría escucharte decir algo en espeñol..jiji👍😜) JehovaDios te siga iluminando para que nos siga guiando. Bendiciones a Ti y Tu Familia ☕👍😙
ella ha explicado en otro video que entiende el español pero que no es buena para hablarlo... :( no creo que nos toque verla en video hablarlo, saludos
+Connie Lony Hola Connie es cierto, pero sería genial escucharla saludarnos en español a sus seguidoras Latinas.
+Ely Cruz hola senoritas!
+My Great Challenge hehehe you're so nice Sophie! te queremos
+My Great Challenge 🌻 Yuuuupis Connie mira nos ha halagado con su saludo muy Latino.. 💛 gracias Sophia por este hermoso detalle.. Connie y Sophia mucha Salud y Bendiciones para Ustedes y sus Familiares 🌻👍😙
Great job :)
Looks nice:)
excellent video
A lot of work!
If you're willing, you could also spray paint the base a light beige or white to better match. But good job!
nice job
good job
+jannie johnson thank you
I would have just sanded and used the paint to paint it leaving out the frill you could have also used red paint on the outside with the gold in the inside.But I agree looks better than before great work Sophia xx
You could have used a hot glue gun for attaching the ribbon and trim, same where you used the tape on the drum part. Our motto is "when in doubt, use hot glue" lol...:)
Hi there Sophia. Happy Easter. This is totall unrelated to above video. I just wanted to ask you if you are still using your Malden pocket in purple and the bag Mailbag in Pink Swirls I think. IF not can you do an updated Whats in my bag please. Thankyou Maggie :)
still using them
Love the lamp. I think I would have just used hot glue
