Cue Debbie Boone, circa 1977.
Well, I have certainly taken advantage of – and extended the ‘technical difficulties’ blog vacation offered by our friends at Blogger.
So, I think I’ll brighten up things again here at the Blue Velvet Chair and share some of the best DIY lamps and chandys that I’ve come across out there in cyberland while looking for inspiration for our bedroom remodel (yes, it will eventually become a post feature if we can ever get it done).
Tja, jag har verkligen tagit nytta av den “tekniska svårigheter” semestererbjuds av våra vänner på Blogger.
Nu ska jag lysa upp saker igen här på Blue Velvet Chair och visa några av de bästa DIY lampor att jag hittade där ute i cyberland medan jag letar efter inspiration till vårt sovrumsrenovering.
plastic bottles – plastflaskor
books – böcker
found objects (trash) – uphittade föremål (skräp)
eyeglass lenses hung individual by string to form a sphere –
glasögonglas hängde individ för att bilda en glob
wine glasses and glass vases – vinglas och vaser
used lightbulbs in a wire basket – används glödlampor i en trådkorg
teacups – tekoppar
coffee filters on a paper lantern lamp – kaffefilter på ett papperlykta
paper scraps – papper klipp
Vellum paper – velängpapper
Kara Paslay Designs
Mason jars – mason burkar
Vintage bottles – vintage flaskor
Wine bottles – vinflaskor
Wine bottles – vinflaskor
Clothes hangers – klädhängare
children’s toys – leksaker
Marbles – glaskulor
Rubberbands – gummiband
Plastic crates – plastlådor
Reflectors – reflexer
cake tin – tårtalåda
Large industrial whisks – stora industriella vispar
Diet Coke pop tops – läsk tabs
Christmas decoration – juldekoration
renovated vintage chandelier – renoverade vintage taklampa
It’s a renovation – and not a repurpose – but I just had to sneak in my renovated chandelier, LuLu, here at the end.
I hope you are as ‘enlightened’ with this ‘brilliant’ dislay of lamp genius as I am. Which one is your favorite?
Det är en renovering och inte en återvända, men jag smyga in min renoverade takkrona, LuLu, här på slutet. Jag hoppas att ni är ‘upplysta’ med denna ‘lysande’ visningen av lampgeni som jag är. Vilken är din favorit?
Until next time…
Tills nästa gång…
p.s. If you enjoyed this post, I hope you’ll become a follower of my blog and a fan on FB.

I love the Starburst and children's toys Lamp! They are all really gorgeously fantastic! I agree with them all this is really amazing. Nothing more to say.
