Thank you all of the lamp support last week. After all of the drama, I thought you might enjoy seeing this DIY project from Southern Living. Over the years, Mom has made lamps from statues, vases, etc. This is a fun idea if you need just the right lamp.
Yesterday when I read one of my favorite blogs, High Heeled Foot in the Door, and discovered this wonderful website, I spotted the lamp on the nightstand. Another pretty item turned into a lamp. Need a lamp? Look around. It might be right beside you.
Very cool....one of these days I'd like to try this!
ReplyDeleteRene, we made the lamp in my foyer. It is just a vase I bought at Hobby Lobby for half price and then bought the lamp kit and a drill bit for ceramics and voila a new lamp. It is such an easy way to have a custom look. I love the lamp in the first photo. The bigger and chunkier the better.
ReplyDeleteLove the lamp in the second picture. What a great website! So many inspiring ideas on there! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day Rene!
I have a lamp addiction... LOL No, really, I could have lots of lamps in every room. They make such statements.

Love these! I love putting together ideas for lamps...I usually let someone else execute them though...not to handy;)!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

Cool ~ I'd never
ReplyDeletethought about using
an object as a lamp
base until recently,
when I saw Eddie Ross
make one out of a bird
statue! Love both of
the ones you feature!
Happy Wednesday, Rene : )

Oh I love the vase lamp! Thanks for the introduction to Mix art and Interiors. I can't wait to get back over there and read more. I hope all is well! Lisa
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Rene-
ReplyDeleteI am delighted you visited my blog and became a follower.

Your Mom needs to do a tutorial on how to do it.

I love that she's made lamps out of vases!!!
ReplyDeleteI am in the middle of a lamp dilemma myself. I love what you did with yours from ReStore though. I think I may have to try getting a larger chunkier one like that and spray paint it!
ReplyDeleteUm this is really great. But what really got my attention was your flower picture.. see this picture from my latest blog post, do you recognize anything there?

Many years ago I did make a lamp and it was great fun. Mmmm...maybe it's time to try it again. I love the lamps you feature. Now that you've had me redo my coasters, why not a lamp or two!!!
ReplyDeleteI actually have that very lemon urn in two sizes, love it and it looks wonderful as a lamp!! Kathysue
