Holy Smokes. These were quite possibly the ugliest lamps in the history of ever. If there was an “Ugly Lamp Contest” these lamps would take first and second place.
Hey! Wouldn’t it be fun to have an “Ugly Lamp Contest?” I think I’m going to do just that. What do you think?
Anyhoo diddly do, check out how Elizabeth redeemed these lamps from groovy-in-a-gross-way into chic outdoor decor on her blog The Hymas Herd. Thanks Elizabeth!

May 26, 2010 at 7:24 PMWow! Such an outside-the-box redo. I like the idea of an ugly lamp contest – I’m sure I can find some doozies in Atlanta (as well as in storage from by boyfriend’s old apartment)!
