New Life for an Old Lamp

I repurposed a vintage lamp last week....it is now a bird bath!   I had a matching pair of lamps stashed away and  I thought "why not make some tall candle holders out of them?"   My pair of candle holders turned into five...does that ever happen to you?

I have a table in the entry way that I had intended to put them on...but when I tried them in the sun room, I liked them better there.   I added a little touch of Valentine to the table between the chairs.

I have a vintage velvet Valentine candy box and some old issues of Romantic homes.   The old issues are still my favorite to sit and thumb thru with a nice cup of tea.

I failed to get a before picture of the lamps, so you will have to picture them with all the electrical still there.

I also decided to paint the gold bases.  I painted the bases cream and then dry brushed some pink over that.

I used E6000 to attach the saucers to the top of the lamp.   Then, I had fun displaying different things in the saucers....I have a tea pot on one, a couple of aqua sea shell candles, and a tea cup with a votive candle in the center one.

This pink candle smells like roses.....

This yellow candle smells like honeysuckle.....

I am already thinking ahead to what I can display on my "candle holders" ....birds and nests in the spring......for Easter....maybe some sweet little bunnies!

H and I love to spend time in the sun room...here is a big comfy chair for H....

Lots of pillows for his back...

For me, I have a little rocker ..
If you look really hard out the window (left corner)  you can see the frame of the green house that H is building.  I am so excited to be getting a green house...hurry up spring!

It is sunny today, but the temp is only in the high 30's, so I will just enjoy sitting in the sun and rocking away the afternoon!
