you too can paint your lamp shade!

Today I painted my lamp shades. They were dark purple and didn't match my new decor, I bought new ones. They old shade had a large fitting to fit the light and the new ones had a small, the large ones in the shop were all funky colours, so, I painted my old ones :) I used Annie Sloan chalk paint in original. The shades needed two coats of paint as the colour was so dark, take a peek
