They have a tube that runs through the body of the lamp. I had to remove a felt circle in order to get to the bolt and nut that holds the lamp together. The black plastic thing keeps the wire from getting cut, then there is a nut below that to tighten the lamp.įirst- flip the lamp over and look at the bottom. I thought I would actually let you in on a secret…redoing lamps are relatively easy! Here is one of the lamps up close. This is not the first, second or third lamps we have built, redone, repurposed,and even recovered a lampshade. It is going to be tough to stay in the budget on this room with the burlap curtains and the lamp shades but I guess it just means I have to be very creative with decorating the rest. It seems a little crazy to pay so much more for shades than I paid for the lamps, but I love them how the shape will update the lamps in the bedroom. Great size, shape and they have a dark blueish ribbon at the top and bottom. I found two perfect shades for $16.00 each. My plan was to spray paint the shades a dark blue to match the darkest color in our bedding.Ī trip to Target changed my mind about the shade. I thought about spray painting the cut glass, but decided to work on the brass and lamp shades instead. I need to add some color and fun to the bedroom, but I love the romance and sparkle of the lamps too. I love finding something like this because I plan on reusing them in a new setting, our master bedroom. Think old lady, formal curtains, couches you could not sit on, and trinkets galore. These lamps were at one time very expensive formal living room lamps. Remember the crystal lamps I purchased, with lamp shades for $10.00 each? They part of my Goodwill purchase last week.
