Lamps, Shades and Other Lighting

shades

~ Whimsical Lamp Shade - This is wild! Uses twisted paper.

~ Parasol Shade for ceiling lighting fixture.

~ Decoupage Lamp Shade

~ Stencil your own lampshade - finish off with some beaded trim.





light fixtures

~ Wire Basket Chandelier - Great lighting idea!

~ Romantic Chandelier - And old metal chandelier gets a paint job and new shades.

~ Galvanized tub - (This one's for you Jill!) - It's a ceiling fixture/chandelier with beads. I can see it done all rusted too. Hang old rusty nuts and bolts or keys from it instead!



lamps

~ Make a lamp from a porcelain jar or vase - This is a very nice looking lamp.

~ Saxophone Lamp - Consider other musical instruments for this as well. Pick up used ones at flea markets.

~ Dressmaker Floor Lamp - Made from dressform, shade and old patterns. Great lighting for the sewing room!

~ Grater Lamp - Yes, it's made from a metal cheese grater.

~ Make a lamp out of books - Kids room decor, office or family room lighting.





candles & holders

~ 3 Tiered Hanging Candle Holder - lighting made from roof vent covers!

~ Memory Wire Bracelets - What? Decorate with bracelets? Yep! Put them around the base of pillar candles! Get some sparkle going on! Make them even longer and wrap on up the candle.

~ Silver Leaf a Candle - This makes a cheap candle look expensive, and it's easy to do!

~ Retro Chic Luminary - Color to match your room, or make your own designs!
