Our friends over at Ideal Bite did a little write up on LiT and we love them for it. We loved the post, so we figured why not share it? Enjoy, and thanks Ideal Bite!
The Bite:
Living in the lap of luxury? Maybe not, but your lamp shade can at least look the part. LiT (maker of couture lamp shades with paper backing - not plastic - and reclaimed fabric) has a tip for brightening up lackluster lamps you already own (rather than buying new): DIY silhouette shades. Just flip the switch and...voilà: grown-up shadow puppets. Success.
