I am joining Ann, from Apple Street Cottage, for Do It Over Designers, where we transform something that needs a makeover!
This lamp blew over in the wind by an open window one day. As I was taking it apart to put it into the trash, I decided to keep a few pieces for a project.
I cut the electrical cord and unscrewed a few of the pieces:
I kept the finial, base....
...and a middle section:
My first idea was to stack them for a candle stick, but it was a bit top heavy:
I pulled out the best glue ever: E6000
I topped the largest piece with an old silver tray:
When serving food at a buffet it's always a good idea to have varying heights....
...so this piece will be used a lot...
for desserts, hors d'eouvres or cheese and crackers:
The smaller piece was perfect as a candlestick:
Most of my candles are battery operated, so this slender candle fit perfectly:
The last piece was the finial:
It looked much better on this lamp than the original:
These were very simple projects and a great way to upcycle a broken lamp!
I hope you'll visit my other creative friends to see their "do it over" projects:
