DIY Branch Floor Lamp

by LZ @The Summery Umbrella

Somewhere around 90% of the time or more my three year old daughter is in my studio providing me with her opinion on my day-to-day dilemmas and home decorating trials and tribulations.

diy branch floor lamp, crafts, how to, lighting, repurposing upcycling

What absolutely baffles me is how good she is already is with coordinating colors, patterns, and other random bits that I find to make my home feel more comfy-cozy. For instance, I have been wanting to create this DIY Branch Floor Lamp for months now, and when the opportunity and time arose I jumped on it! Then, as it came time to find the perfect lamp shade my darling little Ava actually picked out this Seedling Lamp Shade by Thomas Paul as her first choice.

Of course, you know me. I had to look at every single one of the lamp shades, weigh my options, write down the pro's and con's, and do a full blown data analysis of my results. Just kidding! It wasn't that in depth, but it did take me a little bit of time. Then, when it was all said and done I had to admit that this one was also my favorite.

Maybe next time I'll just listen to her.

Materials Needed

branch

tin bucket

lamp shade

light kit

concrete mix

screw

Tools Recommended

table saw

hot glue gun (and glue)

Last, add greenery or whatever elements you would like to the top of the bucket to add a little bit of color. Artificial greenery does wonders!! :)

I love this idea! Really creative and wonderful. I probably would have chosen a more "organic" or natural looking " shade, in keeping with the theme, but it's beautiful and I offer all deserved kudos :)

  @Superbee Thank you, and I completely agree! That's usually my typical route, but every once in awhile I like to spice it up :)
