Lamp Bulb

 Aug 16, 2010

What do you do when life hands you a challenge? Or, more specifically, when life hands you an ugly lamp missing a matching swan head? 

 You decapitate the other swan and make it work, baby. 

 From Nicola, thanks for sharing!







What about when life doesn't even hand you an ugly lamp, and all you get is the lightbulb? Well, tell life to shove it, and make that work too.

From Heather at Decor 4 Poor. Don't even ask me how she did this, I have no idea!

That lamp (as the "before") would have been something I would have walked right past in a thrift shop and not given a second thought. I'm amazed (and jealous) at the creativity of some folks!

What was the deal with the swan head anyway? The remodeled lamp is fab!

There are tutorials on line for making the light bulb vase. Just google it. The lamp is gorgeous and the vase is very cool.

Hi, The lamp is mine, I got it for free as someone was going to throw it away, so I adopted it in the hope I could make it better! It was my first spray painted project and I am pleased with how it turned out.
Many thanks for the lovely comments and for putting it on here, I love this site.

This is decor4poor, it is easier to use a clear bulb, but if you use a white one just put a little bit of salt with a dash of water and swish it around.
