DIY Lamp Shade Revamp

Raise your hand if every lamp shade in your house is cream, beige, tan, or white.
Perfect! This is for you. 
It's 2 steps, and can be done in 5 minutes. Ready?

What you need:
Old lamp shade
Spray paint
Plastic bag
Tape


1. Tape off the top with any type of tape and a plastic grocery bag.

2.  Spray lamp shade in even coats until completely covered.

*Tips* To check if you have enough coats: Replace shade and turn on the lamp. The shade will be slightly splotchy if you need another coat.  Also, I suggest a lighter color paint so splotchy spots are minimized and light can come through better.
I also suggest doing this the first time with a shade you aren't necessarily in love with in case spraying goes astray. :) Better safe than sorry!

Recipes!

Anyone else find themselves cooking (and eating!) more these past few weeks with all the barbecues and birthdays? Within the past month, I think I’ve been to more birthday parties, showers, weddings and cookouts than ever in my life. And with all these celebrations comes food, and lots of it. Almost every time I left one, I've said to myself, I have GOT to get that recipe! So I’ve come up with a $3 solution for any us out there needing a quick fix to a recipe holder.

Here’s what you’ll need:
Paper box 
(they have these in the $1 section of Target literally every time I go, always different patterns)
Index Cards
Colored Card stock
Toilet paper roll
 

1. Simply cut your card stock to fit the box, and to hang over the top of the index cards, just enough to see their section. And label each one with your desired sections.

2. Divide your index cards throughout your sections.

3. Insert the toilet paper roll to help support your cards and your done! (If you have a lot of cards, you not even need the toilet paper roll.
