A couple months ago a favorite lamp of mine broke. Before throwing it away I decided to take out the cord and hardware so I could someday make a lamp and not have to buy a lamp kit. For those of you who know me well, I live for my projects! I realized the other day that Carter's room was missing a lamp. So, at about 8pm last night, I decided to make one! I had been looking online at how to make lamps earlier in the day, so when the kids were in bed, I ventured out to the garage with some wood, a skill saw, and a sander. When I was done with that I came inside and spent some time assembling it. By midnight I had a fun lamp! Today was finish/paint day. It is not perfect, but it's pretty cool, and I must say I'm pretty proud of myself for figuring it out and creating something unusual. I think it's pretty cool! Now Carter's room is complete in the lighting department! Well, I guess I do need to do a shade!
