You light up my life.
I bought these Lamps for $20 off gumtree.
Popped into the local thrift store and found a pewter jug and a small ginger pot for $3.
Thinking, thinking, thinking what to do with my finds.
Tada!!!!
I painted the lamp base and recovered the shade and much to my amazement they look awesome and Hubby really likes them.
This is amazing as his 1st response was “really they are going to be our bedside lamps”?
and I was all like “you know I am going to paint and redecorate them” and he was all like “yeah well I hope they turn out” and I was like………….Sorry I just regressed into 16 year old me telling my Mum to relax about her lamps looking different when she got home from work about 5 years ago.
Ha ha, 5 years…..
Wow, what a tangent.
Right, back to the lamps.
Now I am just finishing off my 2nd lamp and then they will relocate to my bedsides as part of my Master Bedroom upgrade.
I will be back to show you some more thrifty purchasing.
I have 2 lampshades to recover. Any tips as your look sooo professional!!!
Wow, I love, what you’ve done with your finds – what a great job. Isn’t it so rewarding when you’re finds come together and with a little bit of DIY they really shine! :-)
WOW, that looks fabulous, your so clever!!
Looks fantastic, I look forward to seeing them in your Bedroom upgrade. Enjoy your week! Mimi xx
Just Martha…..The best tips are glue, both spray and craft and lots of pins……and patience. Maybe get a cheap lamp and cheap fabric 1st to try out for another room and then it will no matter so much. My 2nd lamp was much easier than the 1st because I had worked out what was easy. Can’t wait to see them.
Thanks for visiting girls.x
Thanks for visiting my blog and on a giveaway day for real!!! Looks like you took those lamps from trailer to penthouse!!!
The lamp looks great! Love what you did to the shade – it’s so pretty and colourful.
Looking forward to seeing how the two lamps look in your bedroom :-)

They look amazing! Love the floral prints on it! Have a beautiful day, Kellie xx
Hey, back again, just thought I would let you know I have tagged you for a couple of awards if you have time!
Cheers
I love what your hubby said to you. Does he not have faith in your abilities to transform?? Lamp looks just lovely, I love the fabric. Can’t wait to see your bedroom updated!
W O W. You clever little duck. They look spectacular. Is it difficult to recover lamps shades? I am loving thrift in all it’s forms at the moment (out of necessity & not choice unfortunately), look forward to witnessing more of you brilliance.
Love Katie
