Enter this Pier 1 beauty I've had for years and never really liked (I actually have two that sit on my buffet in my upstairs hall).
After a fresh coat of spray paint and A LOT of braided jute this is what I got (sorry about the bad pic--bad lighting)!!!! I love it! Now I just have to finish the other lamp and do A LOT more braiding!
So, what do you think??

looks great!
Wow! This is awesome. You are hand braiding this jute? Please tell us how, it looks great. There is nothing better than re-making something you already had, love it!
I think you are so cute and so creative and I want to be just like you when I grow up!!
SO CUTE! You're on a roll, girl!
Looks fabulous!
I think I like yours better than the original...take that BD!!!
Love the color of the shade!
It's gorgeous!
I think yours looks better than the expensive one!
Love that look, so organic!
This looks great! My mom wants one of these shades for her living room and I would rather make her one then spend lots of money buying one. What kind of jute did you use and where did you get it?
Thanks so much!
That looks fantastic! Good job! You now have me wondering if any of my lampshades need make-overs...
It looks fabulous - very similar to your inspiration. Great job!
I love a good knock off! Thanks for sharing...it turned out great!
Did you hand braid all of that? Holy crap woman, super cute.
Looks just as good as ballard! Thanks for sharing

It looks like the same lamp! I had to scroll back and forth to really see the slight difference between the two. You did a great job, I love the new look. Thanks for linking up to Be Inspired!
