Budget Makeover: boob light made beautiful

I take no credit for this brilliant idea-- it's all Stephanie over on Sabbespot--I am just a genius-moocher today.

Here is my boob light.  You probably have one of these somewhere, too, don't you?  The most unfortunate design of the 20th century, laminated chintz not withstanding.

Enter a large, linen-covered drum shade that I found at Goodwill for $3.99.  I think it came from Target-- it was still in the original plastic wrap.  (In case you don't frequent Goodwill, they often carry overstocks and damaged goods from Target at deep discounts.)  I unscrewed the boob-light cover, turned the shade upside down, and screwed the little metal finial from the original light back on.  It took less than 5 minutes, and now we have this:

So much better, right?!
