DIY LAMPS

I have been looking for DIY lamp ideas and found these that are absolutely awesome. I am thinking that I want to make #1 in two different sizes and in some green tones for my bedroom and #2 with a funky shaped bottle (preferably a turquoise one) for my Living room side table, and #3 a little larger and paint the cardboard yellow for lamps in my guest room.

BIG PLANS, BIG CHANGES!

It seems that life is always throwing curve balls here and there, some you hit, some you miss and some you hit right out of the park. We are hoping that the many changes taking place in our life at this moment are definitely a Homer! My husband and I might be moving to the Dominican Republic, (its all up to God at this point) we are hoping to embark on an adventure of self-growth, new opportunities and stability (something hard to get on a military lifestyle).  My father in law was awesome enough to hook us up with a pretty great apartment over there, its all ours to do with it as we please, and I couldn't be any more excited. Its really gorgeous, but needs lots of little changes to make it our own. I was checking out Sherry over at Young House Love (love her blog) and saw her mood boards...they are AWESOME! so, i decided to work on one of my own for my new Living Room. Here it is, tell me what you think.  Ill post the other ones as i make them (for the kitchen, bedroom, nursery, etc)
