Kathleen at Musings from a French Cottage has her pooch to thank for this project! It was he who destroyed both of her bedside lamps in a month, propelling her to buy new lamps and then refab her original drum shades with a drop cloth slip cover and some paint to achieve the look of a grain sack. This is such a simple way to add a little extra detail to an old or plain shade, and the idea easily extends to pillows and curtains as well!
Kathleen was inspired by these French stripe drum shades from Pottery Barn.
