Upcycle lamps
-
Charro on Nov 12, 2015I saw on a post one that someone spray painted their ugly lamp, cut the cord and where the light bulb goes put the top of one of those solar landscape lights. I think they run around $3.00. Used it as an outdoor lamp on their porch and patio.Helpful Reply

JoAnn on Nov 13, 2015Solar lighting is more than likely the best option. You can place them among plants, trees, or like so many of us in AZ we place them around our rock and cactus garden!Helpful Reply

Karen Reilly on Nov 13, 2015Pile them up like a totem pole you could either paint them all the same colour or leave them the way they are. To make it even more of a challenge you could take odd plates or bowls and intersperse them between the lamps.Helpful Reply

Nancy Gramm on Nov 13, 2015Ditto for me on Karen's suggestion. I love garden totems! Some are tacky; some are gorgeous. (And one man's tacky is another's gorgeous.) If they interest you, check out this Pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.com/WISHAHOLIC/totem/ I've included photos of a couple of my faves. Good luck with whatever you choose. Oops! Looks as if I showed pics only of bits and pieces and not lamps. Sorry. Choose whatever works for you.Helpful Reply
