Recently, I’ve been trying to add a touch of mod to my vintage-pottery barn-shabby chic style. Not a major makeover. Just a hint, to mix things up a bit and add something unexpected to my decor.
So, I went shopping in my basement, where I found a totally fab brown acrylic lamp that was in my home staging supplies. Bought it on clearance for a steal at Target – a mere $13 – and all I had to do was add a lamp shade. Bought a $15 shade, also from Target.
Here’s what it looked like before…
Nothing terrible. OK, so the shade does still say “90’s,” but other than that not too bad. At some point I’ll probably try to find a small drum shade for it and find another place for it.
(And in the keeping it real department, see if you can find the blue laundry basket that tried to hide for the photo…it’s like the decorating version of finding Goldbug in a Richard Scarry book!)
New and improved, with a touch of mod…
Ah, sweet decorating relief…welcome to 2011!
I’ll be adding more pops of mod throughout the house and will post them soon.
Be sure comment about how you’ve modernized your style. And share some links too!
