Yesterday, I scored a lot of 12 step switches on ebay that I’m going to use to make some floor lamps. I couldn’t believe that google couldn’t help me find any decent step switches. I know they are out there, I see lamps with them everywhere. I figure that with a lot of 12, I’ll definitely never need to find more. And they were only $25 total. Me love ebay.

This morning, I discover the picture below, which conjures up ideas about how easily you could decorate a lamp shade – not with stupid shiny trim pieces – but with stencils and spray paint. (Not a new idea, I’m sure, but new to me.) You could paint the shade any color you want, and create any type of stencil you wanted: letters, bugs, cutlery, etc. Lots of cool ideas there.
