Hello everyone! I know last week the South got hit with bad weather, and now we here in the Mid-West are getting hit with a ton of snow! Thankfully its not sleet or ice, but we got so much snow that business have shut down and I left work early so I could make it home before it got too bad.
So I'm inside today trying to stay warm and I am excited to show you my latest thrifty find.
Here she is!
I am in love with this lamp. Everything about it is just what I have been looking for....the awesome gourd shape, the soft blue-gray color, and the crisp white shade with the silver accents.
Perfect, right?
Unfortunately, this story takes a turn! :(
The lamp only cost me about $7 bucks, which is a MAJOR score for a lamp from Restoration Hardware, BUT, when I brought it home it did not work!!!! gggrrrrrrr!
So my first inclination was to say forget it and take it back to the thrift store, but I snapped out of my "tude" and decided I may as well try to rewire it.
Yup. That's what I said.....rewire it!
So here I am on a snow day and I am bound and determined to get this lamp working and into my office where it belongs! :)
So wish me luck, and if you have any tips for rewiring lamps I would love to hear them.
Have a great week and stay warm!
