After DIY'ing some fun new orange tables for the playroom in our house I needed a new lamp. I wanted something inexpensive since there was a strong possibility it might have toys, books, or even my child flying through the air at it! After my research revealed that what I had in mind would be out of my price range I headed to goodwill and took the DIY route instead of buying brand new.
Check out the rest and see if you can tell the difference between $100+ lamps and mine $24 refab!
