Have you ever found a perfect lamp with a damaged shade? If so, this next DIY is for you! Kinsey dreamed up a way to recycle your damamge vintage lamp. Enjoy! 1. Find an old, beat up lamp shade. 2. Remove all the fabric or fiberglass surrounding the lamp shade so that all that's left is the skeleton. 3. Lay the doilies out in the deminsions of your lamp shade (measure height and width) then stitch them together with white embroidery floss. 4. Once you have the desired pattern, begin attaching it onto the lamp by stitching them to the frame all the way around!There you have it… an instant dose of pretty for your space. Perfect for Spring. XO. elsie
I love this! Especially since it’s with doilies. They add such a delicate sweet touch. This might even be pretty as a short curtain or valance too. Thanks for sharing!!!
I met a new friend the other day. I told her she looked like Elsie from a beautiful mess and she said “omg I love her blog!” Turns out she went to school in Springfield and has been to Red Velvet! She was like a celebrity to us because she had actually been there. So Fun!

Maize, I see the link you left for us and just wanted to assure you that the similarities of our projects are purely coincidental. These things sometimes happen in the blog world! I hope you don’t assume otherwise. We take crediting other designers and being original very seriously.
Have a great day, Elsie
I had never thought of that! It’s so so so pretty! My granny used to make hundrends of doilies! An excellent way to put them in good use, Yey!

Absolutely beautiful!Thank you for this great crafty tips. I would love to have something like this with vintage inspired decor as well as dark wood. 🙂
Hi Elsie, first off, let me say, you got my vote girl! I may be a 54 year old suburban mom with cool kids who live in Brooklyn, but I like to think I’m cool too! I also wanted to tell you that this project is AWESOME! hugs, Leslie
Brilliant! I especially love the pictures where the doilies are back lit. Which is ideal for a lamp, no? I’m always buying old doilies because…they’re gorgeous! Now I know what to do with them. Thanks for such an inspiring project, Kinsey.
I have been wanting to do this for ever, but I can’t find relatively inexpensive doilies anywhere. It seems I’ll either have to shell out $2 for each one, or just crochet the little doilies myself :c

Hey Matt, I just found your blog today, and was happy to see that you found Beyond Good Intentions. I’m interning for Tori at the mneomt; I found her last year while I was in grad school for Sustainable Development at SIT in Vermont and the title of her website really hit me, as I was having a sort of major ideological crisis at the time (the WHAT THE &^%$ ARE WE DOING AND WHY ISN’T ANYTHING WORKING problem). Anyway, I’ll be traveling to Madagascar to do some research for future case studies for BGI, mainly focused on the impact of the political crisis on the development sector (I was a Peace Corps volunteer there a couple of years ago ), and I’ll be joining the ranks of development bloggers as well; I thought I should connect with you as we seem to have some things in common Sara
Hi Sara, glad you enjoy the blog yes I was quite pleased with BGI as I mnotiened. Just checked out some of your videos from Madagascar do you plan on doing more video work in the field?
yo it called black friady because one day people were so savage to shop that they were waiting outside and as soon as they opened the doors i guy got steeped on till death yea and thats why its called black friady
We are so much alike in the kitchen deatrpment except you would rarely catch me cooking meat. My record has been noodles for every evening meal for a week. Tonight I have not even bothered with those. So I really enjoyed your entry Cheers Kerrin
Oh, how I loved this book but you already know that. We had a few of the same ideas about it I see. I think more than anihtyng I’d like to go back to when I chose one path over another, not necessarily back to my life when I was younger which wasn’t always the best. lolLike you I worried for Quinn. I was so scared she wouldn’t be able to make it back at all. It would be hard to make a choice but ultimately I’m pretty sure my child would take priority. I think though after she knew it wasn’t her fault that her mother committed suicide she really wanted to explore more of a relationship with her.I wasn’t too fond of the ending only because I would have liked more closure on the baby. I think it would have completed the story so much better to know how she was and if they made it as a family.Great review as usual Heather!
Some interesting sceenry in your neck of the woods. I didn’t know you lived so close to the Boneyard. Have you ever taken the tour? I’ve seen many aerial shots of the place online and it’s neat how they have the planes laid out in geometric patterns.
Came here ’cause of a fark thread, don’t ralely care but what are you going to do with the basement dwellers while you’re gone HOW WILL THEY GET PIZZA ROLLS AND ADD FEAR TO THE REVIEWS!!???!?!

I like that it’s actually sewn and not modpodged or something into shape – seems safer next to the lightbulb.. 😀

Brilliant! I especially love the pictures where the doilies are back lit. Which is ideal for a lamp, no? I’m always buying old doilies because…they’re gorgeous! Now I know what to do with them. Thanks for such an inspiring project, Kinsey.
So pretty! I’d love to see this shade lit up at night. I bet it looks magical!
Oh very cool! Definitely have to try this one 🙂

Excellent use of doilies to make an old product new again in a contemporary vintage kind of way!
Une merveille !
