I have seen photos of outdoor lamps for purchase. They are nice but pricey. I would like to take an existing table lamp and maybe spray it, but I do not know how to rewire it for outdoor use.

Your best bet is to check with Lowes for the proper direction. When it comes to electrical I always go to Lowers for help. I know that an outdoor extension cord will not work alone.

You don't have to rewire it... I just saw a post somewhere where they put a solar light where the bulb once was.

Aw so glad you like it! Pinterest has a wealth of information like this. I love Hometalk too but when you go to Pinterest and just type in the search bar what you are looking for, it generally finds it for you. Pinterest has been around a lot longer and just has more stuff on it. There have been a few things I have looked for that I couldn't find on Pin, when that fails I just go to a regular google search.
