Smart Idea: Shine on Me

Take those seven years of bad luck and stick it to a lampshade.

Break a mirror. Using a glue gun, stick the shards to the inside of an old lampshade. You can be sure that things will turn out brilliantly. Keep the shards small, otherwise the shade will become very heavy. Scour the junk shops or charity shops for a shade in a black fabric – thanks to Philippe Starck, black lampshades are de riguer.
