I've had this super easy and quick peony lampshade on the blog since before my daughter was born, but it has held up so well and continues to be a large focal point in her room, I just had to take some new photos of it (especially since the Pottery Barn Kids lamp this version was inspired by is no longer for sale) and talk about how well this lampshade has held up.
In short- it's been fabulous! I thought that by using hot glue, the glue might melt and fall off the shade overtime- but I have has absolutely zero problems with it. I also feared that our incredibly dust-prone house (welcome to Colorado) the white flowers might discolor - especially since this lamp sits right by her window. It still looks just as great as day 1!

Wowww. Yours is way better than the PB one. Yours look fuller and much more prettier. Nice work!!!
I love the fact that you can do this one over when you want a change. That's being practical.
