    Honestly, just the addition of edge banding on the lampshades is a great hack for making super-simple lampshades look more expensive.

    I think it would be cool to cover the shelves on the bookshelf with dust/book jackets, so that it gives the illusion the books are floating!

    I love that you chose the cheapest way first. Even though it didn't work for the extreme curves, where it didn't break demonstrated you could still do this in a smaller ripple-ly version and get a similar look if you didn't want to invest in the flex board. I hope you continue this series it is definitely one of my favorites.

    Could the bookshelf have been made even more affordable if made with a thin aluminum sheet? I think the original is metal right? It would also be cool if the book support portions were covered with book covers/bindings to make everything look like it was floating.

    I think you'll want to consider too before you heat up the shade with an iron, I think the iron has to be set on cotton for the glue to work, And not all but most lamp shades have a plastic lining now... I have no doubt lining will melt and worp. I would consider finding a test patch if possible... or even a test shade. It is surprising even the number of higher quality lampshades that have a plastic interior lining😢. Although not all lamp shades for sure Just something to be aware of hoping to share the knowledge

    Your lamp looks as good as the expensive one. I think I would have started adding the smallest shade to the next size up, first, just so it could be wired a little tighter, but that was still a very cool projects.

    The way I would improve on the DIY Kartell bookshelf is - take bookcovers (which would require pulling apart books, which I do not condone) or buy some of those alternative dustjackests (plenty of 'em on ETSY) and cover the wood pieces that hold the entire thing together, creating an illusion of true floating shelf.
