THE OLE' SWITCH-ER-ROO - LAMP REDO !


I'VE BEEN WANTING TO DO
SOMETHING TO THIS OLD POTTERY BARN 
LAMP THAT I GOT AT A GARAGE SALE
FOR $8.00

HERE IT IS...

IM NOT TO CRAZY ABOUT THE
SHADE...

AND THEN THERE IS THIS
OLD OUTSIDE LIGHT THAT I HAD
GOT IN A THRIFT STORE
AND HAD SPRAY PAINTED.
BUT THE INSIDE THAT HOLDS 
THE BULBS WAS KINDA FALLING
APART....


SO I THOUGHT WHY NOT 
COMBINE THE TWO LIGHTS
TO MAKE ONE THAT I COULD
BE HAPPY WITH.

SO I TOOK OUT THE GUTS OF THE
OLD OUTDOOR LIGHT AND
WIRED IT TO THE POTTER BARN
BASE AND THIS IS WHAT I GOT!


KINDA HARD TO TAKE PICTURES
WITH THE LIGHT BULB ON BUT
YOU GET THE POINT...












AND ONE WITH THE BULB OFF

I USED BLACK PICTURE WIRE TO
WRAP THE SHADE TO THE BASE.
AND FLANKED THE LAMP 
WITH AN ESTATE SALE FIND

I LOVE THE LAMP AND THE
VINTAGE FEEL IT NOW HAS.
AND I LOVE THE LIGHT AND
REFLECTIONS IT MAKES.
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK 
HIT OR MISS?

DO YOU HAVE ANY LAMPS THAT
YOU COULD DO THIS TO?
KEEP THE PAIRING IDEA IN MIND
WHEN THRIFTING!
