Any thrift store or yard sale I’ve ever been to had at least a couple of lamps for sale. They’re often overlooked, because you really only need so many in your home – but if you knew how to repurpose old lamps into something new, you might look at them in a different light. I’ve collected some great ideas to use them both inside and out to give those old lamps a whole new life.

Hey Anna, I found this image on another inspirational site, I checked to see if there was a tutorial for you but no such luck 🙁 It is beautiful for sure!
Lamps come in so many great shapes and sizes, the possibilities are endless. I especially love the bird bath idea. Hitting good will or consignment shops is a great place to get lamps that are unique and cheap!
