Rehashed Lamp

The stand of this lamp came from a cheap old marble effect lamp that came from my grandparent’s house. It needed a new look and a rewire so I decided the solution was to take it all apart and rehash it.

After dismantling the lamp, I rewired and rearranged the stand to a new preferred shape and then painted it in a colour inspired by a new lampshade that I had found and bought.

To cover the original ugly cork pad legs under the base of the stand I found a plant pot tray that was the same size as the bottom of the base and the right depth to cover the legs. A hole was then drilled into the side of the tray to allow the cable wire to pass through at a better angle and help the lamp stand a lot better. To keep it attached to the main stand I used double sided stickers on the ends of the cork legs that would still allow easy access to underneath. It was then painted the same colour as the stand to help it blend in and give the finished look. 


With a few adjustments like a simple lick of paint and a brand new shade the old unfashionable lamp has been brought back to life with a new contemporary feel.
