The article emphasizes the benefits of upcycling lamps, particularly from thrift stores and online marketplaces, as an affordable alternative to new purchases. Kendra shares her experience revamping a $10 lamp found on Facebook Marketplace into an eye-catching teal and blue piece that adds character to her space. She creatively painted the lamp and crafted a new lampshade using fabric and gold accessories. This DIY project highlights the potential for creativity and personalization in home decor while promoting sustainability through recycling.
Most online marketplaces and thrift stores are filled with lamps. A lot of people get rid of lamps because they think it is a final product that cannot be revamped.
A $10 lamp turned into a teal and blue beauty. I believe that a large lamp can add volume to a space and make it feel more complete.
Creating a custom lampshade was the trickiest part. I could have purchased one, but I learned how to make lampshades last year.
