Junky Skeleton Key Shabby Lampshade!

I saw the coolest shabby vintage shredded skeleton key lampshade at a flea market and I have been dying to try it! This is my version~ 
I tattered up this old lampshade, tied on some skeleton keys and draped an old pc of lace over the top. 
I used a small lamp to put under it to make the lampshade glow! This creation found a spot over my closet in the bedroom...I was excited at how soft and shabby it turned out!!!
This is the whole display, I have this dark little space above the bedroom closet that needed some 
shabbying up...
I added a frame that I painted up white...$1.50 at tag sale~
Ohhhh, I cannot tell you how excited this silly lampshade got me...I went into a full decorating frenzy!
Well, I hope you enjoyed my oh so shabby lampshade redo!

    It looks so romantic! I love it when one finds the simplest thing that makes a big impact. Especially when it inspires us to decorate!
    I totally "get" your excitement, great post!
    Blessings and light

    That looks gorgeous! Isn't it funny how just one new thing can have us going wild moving things around and re-decorating?
