I can't help it, I love changing, deconstructing and using things for unintended purposes. I especially love making inexpensive lamps into vases (see previous post here). I save the hardware and easily turn them back into lamps, if the mood catches me at a later time. I love experimenting with various shapes, it's like sculpture.
Remember my pink lamp? I got it some time ago at Old Time Pottery for $29. The shade alone is worth that - it's a beautiful satin. As you know, sometimes shades cost more than lamps. The base looks cheap, though, and has always bothered me. I dearly love the shape and color. Every time I looked at the lamp, I thought what a cute vase it would make.
I was thrilled to get this lamp on sale at Target. I love how it doesn't have a base and that it looks like pottery.
I decided to put the pink shade on my new lamp. I love it! See post below where I talk about this color scheme.
The pink lamp is now a vase! Two new beautiful objects to play with. Now it's time to rearrange! Simple, cheap and fun. Now that's my idea of DIY. I think I need to paint my bookcase again....

I love the pink lamp used as a vase! How cool! You can't even tell it was a lamp!
