Happy Friday, I love Steam punk lamps from Anthropology, Pottery Barn, but not their prices.
I decided to make my own, I love the old Telegraph Insulators Rustic, steampunk, table lamps. People sometimes throw them away, or not even know what they are. I find them interesting and so vintage, industrial. I love them next to lace, lavender bunches, books, and you have a vignette, but now, you can have an industrial lamp made by me. Its gorgeous, I love it, sorry but I can't believe I'm making these lamps out of discard pieces, I have some more designs on the works, a surprise.
So here is my latest design. I did the base, and drill the hole for it, then sanded it and stained it. I had a good friend an electrician do the wiring since I'm not that good at it. I had the Insulator, this is my favorite color, its beautiful at night, so romantic.
 |
| I placed the light on top of a French turquoise poem antique book, one of my favorite little books. I don't know if you can see it but it looks so pretty on the typewriter antique table. |
 |
| I took this picture so you can see the color, its hard, sorry to take pictures of lights. |
 |
| I wish you could see the light in person, its a soft teal, I just lay some lavender of course, behind it, so vintage with the lace, old books, ready to listen to music or you can use them as night lights also. |
 |
| This picture has another insulator in the back. |
The turquoise light is beautiful, I waited until it got dark to take the pictures, because it looks
so stunning at night. It has a 5ft. cord with an on/off switch and a candelabra bulb,
What do you think??
On to the new finds, I found this gorgeous French desk, totally blue and distress.
 |
| It has lots of little drawers, and there was a surprise inside one of the drawers, I found several tiny old crystal knobs. Each drawer has a keyhole but I didn't find any keys. I love the new find, it has plenty of distressing, but I got my hands on it already, I'll show you the pictures tomorrow. Great find, Wish you great junking Saturday, love Martha |
