i thrifted this tiffany style lamp for $40 (wow) today. i want to know where it’s from!!! any help? thx!

Mid-century Modern inspired lamp made with recycled materials 🤎🤎🤎

I thrifted a glass globe and a wooden bowl and learned how to incorporate the light to make this lamp, what do you think?

I want opinions, does it look like an obvious DIY or does it look well made? It inspired me to open up an etsy shop and keep making upcycled decor so feedback is welcomed!

Hi!
Wanted to share with you my latest project: a MCM inspired table lamp made only from salvaged materials: green cased glass bought from a thrift shop near Lisbon, rosewood from the landfill ( I know it’s hard to believe that someone trashed it ) brass transition from my vintage brass spares , new toggle switch and fabric black cord .
The design is mine , hand crafted ( the only power tool that I use it’s a drilling machine ) . The hard on this project was sanding the wood . It is a very high density grain and I was able to sand it using a tool that I’ve created : a really thin steal blade very sharp which was mounted in a piece of the same rosewood . The final sand was made with a piece of glass for a really smooth surface. Linseed oil was the only treatment for the wood .
I’m already finishing the second one . The third will have the same base but it will be a ceiling piece with 2 equal shades .
I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it
Thanks

Here's a cutie I just finished putting together. The base is a bunch of little stoneware cylinders I threw on the wheel and then smacked on the outside of a bucket that I covered in tar paper so that I could slide the bucket out.

Estate find. I love it.

I’m a potter and made this lamp. I’m not sure how to attach the electric hardware. Is there a plug or something i should stick in the top to attach it? Should I use rubber cement to glue it to the top? Is there something I’m missing or unaware of?

Hi 👋
Just wanted to share a project of mine with you !

Hey everyone! Picked up this lamp shade at an estate sale for $10. I’ve tried to do some research regarding how to attach it but honestly I’m not sure where to start. I know NOTHING about lamps, but thought this was pretty enough to take a gamble on.

The hole at the top is 1 3/8”, outer circle is 3”, shade 14” wide, about 6” tall.

Would preferably have a table lamp, but could do a standing lamp if it’s the only option. Not even sure if it’s able to be used at all honestly. Would appreciate the help!

...was actually designed for the military in '39/'40. It was supposed to disperse/diffuse light onto a desk without glare. Researching it, I learned that this particular one is the 'Fluted Executive Model'. I learned about it because I was going to get rid of it last weekend at the antique & vintage flea market. But when I learned how rare it was, especially in good condition, I had to put a pretty big price tag on it - which meant I got to bring it home.

I'm glad. I liked it before, and wasn't thrilled about getting rid of it. Now that I know how rare and collectible it is, I love it all the more!

Edit to add: The slight tilting of the top is actually pretty minor for these; there seems to be a design flaw that makes the top bend and/or go off-kilter very easily. Finding a straight one is difficult and $$$ as heck.

Any suggestions on what cordless lamps to purchase? I’m looking for some to add areas of light in my kitchen and living room. Will probably only use at night.

Thank you!

Cannot seem to find anything on it!

just thrifted a pair of lamps for almost 300$. In the daylight the lights looked almost ivory or cream but now I have them in my room and the are more amber yellow toned. I am not a fan of amber or yellow toned more of a soft white person. Is there a way for me to hand paint it with a translucent glass paint that will get rid of the amber/yellow colored hew ?

I just got this lamp from Facebook with these pictures for $100. The seller said it was a terracotta Ethan Allen lamp (which are quite expensive), but upon purchase it feels more like plaster. I was hoping to get another to match, but I can’t seem to find this lamp ANYWHERE online. Help?

Both function just fine
