Remember this lampshade I covered?
I have been searching the thrift shops for the "perfect base", without luck - until today!! I ran into the Christmas Tree Shop for plastic forks and VOILA...on the sale cart was this lamp base for only $.97:
Ironically, it was missing its shade!! And mine looks perfect on it!
This past weekend I found this cherry end table at a garage sale for $10.00. My daughter needs an end table so it will be sprayed black for her family room....Stay tuned to see how it turns out and also to see my latest purchase from Salvation Army (I am blaming this new "Thrifting Obsession" on all my bloggy friends - yes, that means YOU, too - I can't take the blame all by myself). I'm joining Thrifty Thursday at Tales of Bloggeritaville and Transformation Thursday at Shabby Chic Cottage

Lookin' good!
ReplyDeleteGreat timing for the lamp! And thanks for the sewing machine insight - I had NO idea the needle has to be changed from time to time. I guess I'm still a novice - ha! Thankfully, the hubby changed it for me.
ReplyDeleteJeanine
Perfect match!!
ReplyDeleteLove the lamp! Can't wait to see the table.
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly a .97 cent lamp!!! That is a good find.
ReplyDeleteThose go so perfect and you definitely can't beat that price!
ReplyDeletePatti,
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm new here and I think I'll stick around. I know what you mean about 'thrift' stores....I LOVE THEM! You would freak out at the local one here. The lamp was a real find...lucky you.
Perfect lamp for the shade...looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! Don't ya just LOVE TCTS!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what buys. Anxious to see the table painted black. I'm about to paint 5 dining room chairs black!
ReplyDeleteNo way! $.97 for a lamp!!!! Great luck!!
ReplyDeleteyes indeedy, perfect lamp for your new shade.. 97cents wowzers- thats the deal of the week..
ReplyDeletedo hurry up and paint that table as I have one alot like it and would LUV to see how it looks in black. I know your daughter is thrilled you found such a beauty for her room so cheap..
**************
thanks for visiting me .. since they hung those pots on a masonry wall I can only guess they used masonry screws and thin wire around the lip of the pot.. wish they'd have given instructions, but they didnt..
