Vintage Styled Lamp
I’m sharing a picture today of Mike’s homemade Christmas present. A vintage styled lamp.
The holiday decorations are no longer displayed and I’m using black and white and pear display on the mantel.

The cord was simply attached to the wood and up over the top with electrical staples. Then I added the wire cage shade. These basic items can turn almost anything into a vintage lamp.

Did you notice I said, “the Christmas decorations are no longer display??” I haven’t put everything back in the boxes. The guest room is covered in spindle trees, burlap, and mantel decorations. Ugh!
Are your decorations put away?

Love the lamp!! Where did you order the cord covered with cloth ?
Karen, thank you for asking and reminding me to add links into the post. I tried to add the link here on comments but apparently I’m not even allowed to add links in comments. Which is good. No spam here!!! It would be easy to turn anything into a lamp. I may order another cord and hang a light over a wood bracket. Very rustic! Thank you for visiting. Mike really likes the lamp too! 🙂
