WHEN WE moved into this apartment, all we got was bare bones. Any lighting consisted of lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling and no curtains or blinds anywhere (I know, the landlord really made an effort).
There are some things that I don't mind spending money on, like furniture and things that can be used later on when we move from here. But considering all that we are having to buy, I didn't want to spend much on things like hallway and entry lighting fixtures.
IKEA to the rescue! For all of $4, I was able to pick up a Lobbo shade that snapped together in a flash. And all we had to do was unscrew the lightbulb, pop on the shade and screw the lightbulb back in. Easy peasy!
I think it does the trick and you can't beat the price!

Wow I can't believe it was only 4.00!!!!! Thats a lot of look for almost no money...good choice!
Just brilliant, Lisa. Your landlord has obviously not been to IKEA lately! J x
100% better! I love Ikea for that very reason! When we moved to Germany all we got were wires hanging...but Ikea to the rescue! First several days until we could find Ikea we lived by flash lights!
I wish we had an Ikea here closest one is almost 4 hours away! boo hoo!
What a great solution.
Gotta love Ikea!!! Looks really good and way more expensive than $4. :-)
Wow...great light for $4.00. Thank goodness for IKEA!!
God bless Ikea! I love seeking affordable treasures there! That drum lamp shade looks like a million and four dollars!

Wow! Looks fantastic...who doesn't love Ikea eh?
Thanks for sharing!
Oh my gosh-- I know it's "cheap" but I swear that I get the most compliments on items I get at IKEA.
What... $4? I'd say that's pretty brilliant!
The nearest Ikea is 5 hours away and I only make it there maybe once a year and am so overwhelmed I don't actually get anything I need. What a great looking shade for a amazing price! I'll remember this one!
What a perfect (and budget-friendly) solution!
That's a great investment!!! You probably could even add some grosgrain ribbon around the top and bottom if you wanted - but really, what a great solution!
Yeah girl that is my kind of transformation!!!
