Thrifty Floor Lamp

In the last post I showed the settee that I rescued and pictured beside it was a floor lamp that I discovered at a local thrift store.
For some silly reason, I didn’t buy it the first time I saw it. Even though it looked a little rough, I could see the potential.

Let’s take a closer look.

The wiring was frayed and needed to be redone.

It is one piece of wood with great accents.

So I plopped down my $9.99 and brought her home.
I rewired it and gave it a good cleaning but decided to leave it in its original finish. I love the gold accents. I did have to order a cover for one of the “fat boy” sockets. (Fat boy sockets haven’t been used in many years.) I also purchased a lovely silk shade from a lamp shop.

It’s a perfect fit next to the settee in this guest room.

I am very pleased with the results.

I’ll be linking to Feathered Nest Friday at French Country Cottage and to Potpourri Friday at 2805.
