Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Other

Type of item: Accessory

For: Home

Style: Traditional


Materials

1 floor lamp that came in two pieces , so I took it apart and made a plant stand and a plant holder!!!!!!!

What was your inspiration?

I loved all the detailwork of the piece...... but I didn't need a floor lamp . I went to a craft mall and found a wooden tray that was a lighter color , so I finished it the same color as the piece, attached it with screws and in the center of the tray it has a cutout that fit the basket perfectly . I had a piece of faux leather , cut it to fit and here it is.

What are you most proud of?

....Everyone who sees it , wants to buy it WOW!!!!!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

look at things you love with different eyes . Don't be locked in to what it is, dream of what it could be......

I've been repurposing since I was a child, my Mother was the queen of repurposing. My all time favorite is to mix paints together and then find accessories around the house that work with whatever color we had made.
