Easy Lamp Update

Wynn had a basic lamp on her desk with a plain white shade. I had been staring at the shade for a while thinking of how I could update it. One day I was on the Restoration Hardware Baby and Child site and found an adorable shade on clearance for $7 and a letter ornament on sale for $.99. I purchased both of them.

I took off the plain white shade and added the pink rimmed shade from RH Baby & Child. Then I simply used some adhesive to attach the ornament to the inside of the shade and let it hang down on the shade. It is perfect because I would not be able to glue it on flat to the shade. Then I can always take off the W if I wanted to do so in the future.

 Her desk looked like this for a few minutes I think, and then Wynn sat down and covered the desk in paper and markers.. She has her favorite princess books with some elephant book ends I purchased from Home Goods. A sweet picture of Wynn when she was six months old, and then a cupcake her aunt painted for her at a pottery store.  
I just love finding things on clearance on RH Baby & Child. I am glad that I purchased this shade and ornament. It was a quick update and I had the few minutes to spare to put them together.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
