Gold Rush

when i first brought taylor home, i had no idea what i was going to do with her room. i had saved a few things here and there hoping for a little pink in my life, but no plans at all. her room is really full of decor i already had except for a few things. we have to use lamps in our rooms because the light fixtures were controlled by the switch that went to a hanging old light, we have ceiling fans we will put in the rooms. (i know they aren't that cute, but i wanna save energy and clutter in the rooms) for taylor's room i found a lamp stand i used to have and an old lamp shade collecting dust down in the dungeon and joined the two in holy matrimony and made a lamp for her. however, it's been driving me crazy every time i see it! it's plain, and blends in with the furniture, bleck...it's laodecian--luke warm water you wanna spit outta your mouth! so i decided to spice it up just a little, here are a few before and after's, something so simple that took me 5 minutes at most, was free, and i think it turned out alright. i used a wooden handle round sponge. (key-first start at the back and work your way around)
