Pottery Barn and The Lettered Cottage Inspired Light

Hey there, how are you???  I've been busy working on a few projects over the past couple of weeks and I can't wait to show them of over the next little while!  Today, I'd liked to share a quick little update I did to our dining room chandelier. 

I'm a big fan of Kevin and Layla's blog - The Lettered Cottage.  I love their ideas and have been admiring their house for months now.  One of the updates they did was make their own Pottery Barn inspired lamp shade.  Well, I LOVE anything Pottery Barn, so this immediately caught my attention.  We have a similar light fixture in our house and I thought that this would be an easy update to try.

All you need for this project is jute, a glue gun and lamp shade.  It's pretty self explanatory, you glue gun the jute to the bottom of the shade - easy peasy and the results are terrific!  I really like this subtle enhancement to the shade...it adds some visual interest, without standing out too much....it was just perfect!!

So here is my creation, I couldn't find the braided jute, but found some jute ribbon from Michaels which worked perfectly. 

And because I just love my old but improved light, here's another shot of the final result in all it's glory!!
