Let there be light

Recently, I went to an estate sale in Pasadena.  There wasn't much there to be had, but I did find this not-so-great-looking pair of brass lamps.  The shades were hideous and one of the turn switches was missing.... but at $25 for the pair, not a bad deal.  So I packed them into the Fit and brought them home.

$80 worth of lampshades later(these shades were relatively cheap, even though they cost more than the lamps themselves)
 Some super glue to re-attach the felt base pad
A new switch


Some ribbon trim and a glue gun

And voila! The perfect lamps for the guest bedroom.

  1. Very cool! The blue trim was a nice detail. Little messes turned haute :)
