After experimenting with different plates, I chose an antique blue and white from the depths of my kitchen cabinets. I kept trying to find a shade from my dusty collection in the linen closet, but finally decided I'd have to buy one. Then I saw this idea on Pinterest using sisal rope and a hot glue gun and the light bulb clicked on.
After a trip to the local hardware store for 100 feet of sisal rope, a pack of glue sticks for the hot glue gun, and a few burned fingers -- I present the customized $11 Target lamp.
By the way, that Sand and Sisal blog has all kinds of DIY coastal decorating ideas -- enough to keep me busy until the next beach trip!

My goodness Becky - aren't you just the Artsy-Fartsy Decorating Goddess!!! Cute lamp.
Very nice. I need one of those.
Lynda.... there is actually a craft store in the town I work in called "Artsy Fartsy". LOL
The lamp is lovely!!! Off to Target, I go.
What a great idea! I got a few things at Target last week in clearance that I set aside for stocking stuffers--didn't notice the lamp--will look on my next trip in!
Ooohh cute Becky! Impressive, did you post it on pinterest? Your just getting ideas galore!
I'm Artsy Fartsy with dubious success. Ha! Thanks everyone for the kind comments on my craft mania.
