I had to copy her as soon as possible. And I love a project that is nearly instant gratification. I had this lamp on hand.
The three cardboard tubes covering the sockets for the three arms were too ratty for even my imperfect-loving taste. Using Elmer’s glue, I covered them with pages from a French gardening book I had brought back from Paris a couple of years ago.
The pages startled to wrinkle, so I created more wrinkles!
The next day after the glue was totally dry, I slipped the covers back into place and hung a hand towel on one arm. Now I have the center glass globe to fill with seasonal décor. -- Beth

That's a very cool, very shabby chic idea. Love it.
Lovely. Those lamps can be found for a song when they don't work. A great way to repurpose!
What a clever repurpose! I see those lamps in a whole new "light!"
I agree..that Lisa is a genius.;)
