Lamps Plus Ovo Lamp Gets a Coastal Look for Christmas
I knew Lamps Plus Ovo table lamp was going to be perfect for showcasing my fishing glass floats and driftwood pieces. So I was happy to participate in this great Holiday design challenge by Lamps Plus and Hometalk! To add the spirit of Christmas to the driftwood I painted stripes in the traditional Christmas colors of red and green, plus white to tie in with the lampshade. Although I love driftwood au naturel, I've always adored the painted pieces that I have seen. So this was an obvious choice! I also tossed in a few fillable clear ornaments with snow white shell shards in them. The shade design was inspired by French memo boards. I created a stripe pattern with thin rope that would allow me to show off some precious pieces of seaglass, as well as a Christmas card I created. A backlit memo board! I finished off my coastal design with a small driftwood finial. I'm enjoying the lamp a lot right now, but without the card -it'll be tucked back under in December!

Driftwood lamp finial. I cut off the top of the finial that came with the lamp and mounted this little sculptural piece, finished off with a rope wrap.
French memo board inspired lampshade design. A simple rope wrap that allows to tuck things under. The seaglass pieces look beautiful when backlit. Come Christmas, I tuck the card back under!
