Decor It Yourself
DIY Lighting Round-Up
I must say, I am really loving how the Structured Blossom Lamps turned out! You can play around with changing the color of the base to go with the new shade, and use different colors of felt to liven it up even more.
This is just one of the many DIY lighting projects there are out there. In the last two episodes of Decor It Yourself, I tried to give you several to choose from. Here are a few more I thought would be fun to try. First off, check out Decor It Yourself's previous shows on lighting like our Lace Lampshade episode, and one of my very first old school episodes, (don't judge!) DIY Lighting.
Last year's Earth Day special was also focused on creating a DIY lighting source, in our Up-Cycled Pendant Lamp episode.
Christiane Hoegners made this preppy and fun Tennis Skirt Lamp.
I found a How-To for a Flowerpot pendant lantern in
One DIY lighting mecca that I recently shared on the DIY Facebook Fanpage, called Das-Rote-Paket featured this Lampe Wollknauel by Michele Hofmann, and the below doiley pendant Lampe Tortenspitzen by Monika Mehlitz.
This is a Bird's Nest Lamp from Hermon Hermon. Do you think we could DIY our own version? I think we might have to!
The EASIEST way to re-do lampage you already have? Simply give it a good coat of bright and bold spray paint.
Or embrace your inner nerdom by making your own Dino Lamp from Think Geek.
On the facebook Fanpage I also created a photo album "Lighting". In it is a collection of iconic lamps and lights through the decades of design. Use this to educate yourself on choice pieces that you love, so you can spot a killer deal when you find one in your search for lovely pieces for your home.
There are SO MANY MORE! Look around and see what floats your boat and share with us in a comment below. I hope this helps on your quest for The Perfect Lighting Scheme!
