I love lamps that softly diffuse light — can’t go wrong with lanterns (link here, here and here for inspo), plus they have endless DIY potential. I made this one with a stack of shades + a base from another broken lamp.
I found a working lamp on the sidewalk and after a thorough clean I’m making a ”lampshade” with glass beads! I think I’ll use a ton more and get a softer bulb but how fun to experiment!
was inspired by josh-chun’s beautiful show stopping seal lamp to post MY favorite lamp ……… also animal shaped …………… got it from the thrift store and i was afraid it wouldn’t work. i also did not have anywhere to put it. but it was labeled $0.49 so i said shit whatever !!!!!!!!!!!! turns out it DOES work and casts a spectacular orange glow…….not to mention i found a place for it next to my desk…………….rec of the day is lamps you guys. buy lamps. they will change u
