easy lamp makeover with post-its
want an instant makeover for your ikea uplighter? here's a quick and cheap dress up trick from make flickr photo pool member neonarcade [via make]. "i dressed up my old ikea lamp with some leftover post-it notes," he writes, "just make sure you use a cool bulb, like a flourescent." link.
i like the ethereal glow, retro chic and of course, the quick but dramatic fix. nice work, neonarcade.

What a great, simple idea!
Reminds me of this lovely lady's work.... I met her @ Craftstravaganza and just had to buy one of her lamps! I lurve it!
Looks cool, but how long until those Post-its start falling off?
beccajo, the lamps are a darling. who would have thought of using cocktail umbrellas!
lisa, it probably won't last long but i guess that's the fun of it. because it is so cheap and easy, you can change colours, mix and match different post-its.
