After much research, I found what I wanted. One of my favorite blogs, Iheartorganizing.com, recently did a project where she took a plain white drum shade and made it into something with a lot of pizzaz. I knew right away that this would add the "fun" and "whimsical" element that I have been looking for. So, I went for it!
It was super easy (although a little time consuming), but I LOVE IT! Here is a before shot...
And after.....
This was so simple and if I can do it, certainly anyone can! We simply bought a plain white drum shade from Ebay for $125 and then purchased the mum decals from Etsy for an additional $25. So for $150, we now get to eat, study, chit chat, etc....under this amazing light!

$125 for a drum shade??? That just doesn't sound right. But it's really really pretty!
It's the whole light, not just the shade. It was the cheapest that I could find for the size that I wanted...it's huge!
Everything else that I liked, was around the $175 mark so I was able to save just a little and am so in love with it! :)
Ooooh that is very nice! I am moving into my first apartment in a few weeks so I am all about decorating tips!
