Anatomy of a Lamp

I found this lamp at Crate and Barrel a few months ago and LOVED it! But, $79 ? Um...no thanks.
Then I found this vase at HomeGoods.

$12.99

A $4 lamp from GoodWill

Disected the lamp

And put it back together

Added a $12.99 lampshade from HomeGoods

And it works!

And I love it!

I've been meaning to ask what format you use for your blog? I'm tired of having a border around my blog. I'd like a more "open" feel and not so "clutter-y". I'm SO not a blog/computer savvy person. :/

Beautiful, Janie! I LOVE what you are doing with your living room. It has changed a lot since we were there last!

What was that Martha Stewart? Oh, you think Janie should take over your show? Yeah, me too.

I am SO going to HG tomorrow! I've been ooohing an ahhing over a certain PB lamp for some time but can't get myself to pay $200 for it.

I think I can handle this! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

LOVE this DIY. What a brilliant idea. ;) And SO much cheaper. Don't know if you remember me, but we met maybe 10 years ago through a mutual "friend." :) You have a lovely family! And I enjoyed reading your blog!
