Ahhh, The Possibilities!

I’ve been trying to plan regular times when I can make forays to the local thrift stores to search for unique (and cheap!) crafting supplies, items that just need a little TLC to be loved again and things I can “upcycle” in to something new.  I’ve scored big lately on finding pretty decent picture frames I can rework in to door decor, home decor and message or inspiration boards.  So, I’m making a solid plan to hit up the thrift stores that are within easy driving distance from where I work on a more regular basis.  My lunch hour is perfect for making a quick stop to any of the several stores that are fairly close to my office.  Today’s trip took me to Goodwill where I scored the funkiest, 70′s era monstrosity of a lamp you have EVER seen.  I spied it while perusing the shelves for some glass globes I can make yard lighting out of, and HAD to have it so badly that I almost ran a guy over with my shopping cart in my haste!  Seriously, check out the funkiness:  (feel free to ignore my mess of a garage.  Supplies for several projects are lurking in there….and probably a mouse or two!)

70's Kitsch

Awesomesauce!

Bring on the funk!

I cannot begin to tell you how GREAT this lamp is, and I know the pictures don’t do it justice.  It’s really something you just have to experience in person!  The lights inside vary in height, I guess to resemble candles, and the glass panels are removable so you can reach in to change the bulbs.  I can’t WAIT to get started cleaning this up and refurbishing it!  I’ll let y’all know how it turns out!
