Add some sparkle to your night
I am moving into a some apartments on campus this coming fall and I wanted to make a lamp that would match my new room colors. I had chosen purple, black, and white and I went to work making this lamp. Its fun and super easy! Though the photos don't really show the purple very well.

Sooo amazing! I have a tin lamp thing that is supposed to look "futeristic" so it's boring. I need to try to come up with something to do to the ugly thing lol
