![]() Of course don’t forget the most important part… take plenty of pictures so you know how to put the darn thing back together! I don’t know about y’all but I’m not a lamp technician so I would be absolutely lost without a photo to put this baby back into working order. It took a minute but I finally read the little “press” sign on the side and figured out I could squeeze the top portion like a spray paint top and pull it off.įrom there I simply unscrewed the two little screws and took off the wires… then I pulled the wire out of the bottom of the lamp and volia! All of the pieces were loose! This gave me enough slack to pull the top wires free from the little gold compartment they were in. In order to take this little guy apart I started by turning it over and loosening the bolts in the bottom of the lamp. I started by completely taking this baby apart… trust me it was a learning experience! Normally these are the types of projects I casually bat my eyelashes at the hubby for… but he was busy with a job interview so I tackled this one myself! (Pray for us… he really wants this job!) I wasn’t sure how this transformation was gong to go but I knew I wanted to keep the glass portion of the lamp transparent… so spray painting the entire thing and calling it a day wasn’t going to work! Looking for a bunch of posts on DIY & Crafts? I’ve got you covered!Ĭlick here to see all of my how to DIY & Craft posts in one place!

So I grabbed a little transparent glass dye, a little spray paint and got started. Honestly I don’t know how many of these babies I’ve seen over the years… I think everyone has one in a back closet somewhere. Isn’t that where you go to get all the good old stuff that should have been taken out behind the barn and shot already? She’s had a few of these old cut glass lamps stashed in her closet for years (really as long as I’ve been alive). So when I started looking for a lamp for my guest room make-over (without spending a bunch of money) I knew exactly where to look. (If you don’t Goodwill definitely does!). If you’re looking for a beautiful new lamp but you’re on a budget the chances are good that you have one of these old cut glass lamps lying around.
