A little project

I have been looking at an ugly spot in our living room since we moved in.  The previous owners had moved the outlet up on the wall to accomodate a tv.  Nice idea except we didn't need it and it's difficult to hide and also use the outlet.

We had an awesome floor lamp that had a tall pretty paper shade but the switch broke so we threw it out before the last move.  I couldn't just chuck the paper thinking I could use it for something and here it is.  This is a deep wooden frame I found at savers for $2.  Then I just cut and hot glued the paper over it.

I was planning on using little brass hinges so it could swing out for access to the outlet then remembered those little 3M velcro things and stuck those on.  I still don't love it, but it's better for sure.
