Can't Wait to Show You My Recycled Can Lamp



I love little lamps.  I love to use them in bookcases and nooks to
give a soft glow in a room.   I found a thrift shop shade.  A tiny one with
a white pleated shade.  I pulled out a little lamp ~ one of the ones I use
in the windows at Christmas time.  Sorted through the recycle bin for an
old can and searched for scraps of fabric and ribbon and some vintage
buttons.  Painted the can and the base of the lamp, got out the glue gun ~

Voila ~ a new little lamp.




My hubby will tease me.  He says we should notify the power
company and warn them of a power surge every night before we
go to bed.  It will be just one more light to turn out before we 
turn in.



I don't care though.  I think it's cute and I am going to 
show it off on

and

Bentley ~ do you need a little lamp by your dog bed?


Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

Dumpster Dive to Delightful!


Recycle, refresh, renew! With a bit of vision, some soap and water, paint and a yard of new fabric ... you can turn what appears to be trash ...



Into a treasure!!



Let your creativity carry you away on your next project. That's what happened at Ash Tree Cottage. Now let's go visit the other Susan at Between Naps on The Porch this Metamorphosis Monday for more amazing transformations!!

Oh Bentley, I don't know if we can fix your old fire truck. It may well be beyond repair. Maybe we can find you a new one!!

Love,
Susan and Bentley
