And…the finished product. Am I crazy to think that it looks like something I could have purchased at ABC Carpet & Home? OK, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but let’s tally it up, folks:

Lamp: $0

Crystals: $3 at thrift shop

Wallpaper: $0 (thanks, Stephen!)

Paint: $16.50 (with lots left over for future projects)

TOTAL: $19.50

Also, I just plain love it ‘cause I made it myself. That always feels good.
