Love it!!! Great for teenagers.

If she was using an incandescent light bulb, I would call it a fire hazard! I remember having a cute plastic shade over a 60 watt bulb, never realizing that the shade was a bit too close. The thing melted and could have caught fire!

thank you, thank you, thank you! Now I know what I am going to do with a beautiful lamshade I have and a need for more light over my machine area! :)

Great idea thank you!

Oh yes! LED lights burn cool and give off great light. they are expensive but last and last and last and....burn cool to touch. Lowes has a super supply of all different styles for all different needs. (I personally like the old fashion bulbs in my ceiling fan lights in the winter; fan is set to push risen hit down from the ceiling and the heat from the lightbulbs is a bonus.)

Thanks for sharing the idea. Am I the only one who liked her first attempt?

Ugly comes to mind

Good idea. Just not my taste.
