Lamp Hack....

Ever had a lamp that's just too short for your space?

You can't put a larger shade on it because that would look dumb and the scale would be all wrong.

So, what do you do?

You hack it.

On the cheap, I needed two matching lamps for our guest room.

My two daughters absolutely would NOT let me use the ones I had...

and I agreed.

so

I went to Tuesday morning (um...I like LOVE that place) and found two lamps that I liked.

They were not however tall enough for where I needed.  But the price was right and I knew I could somehow make them work.

I think I paid 30.00 each for them (I'm serious)

I also had to paint them because I wanted gold.

So. After painting them, this is what I was left with.

a short squatty lamp.  Not good.  Not good at all.

So I went to a craft store and found a square box for oh about 5 bucks and painted it the same gold as the lamp.

I added a few table top books underneath it and voila!

Problem solved!

Have a great day y'all!
