DIY projects! (Harry will be so happy)

I recently stumbled across a bunch of DIY projects that I want to tackle for our apartment:

Hemp pendent lamps (inspired by West Elm)


Clock Makeover. This one's a little too, um, intense for me, so I'm thinking something with a woodgrain face and grey or green frame.


Mailbox makeover. I currently own one of these but it's ... not my style. It's black and white and frilly/shabby-chic. Yuck. I think some paint and pattern could do some good here.


Felt lamp shades. I'm not convinced this will work, but the lamp shades in our bedroom are so traditional and boring it's worth a try.
