Wooden Cube Lamp
This cube lamp can be placed on an angle (as shown) or flat on one side. Either way it looks amazing. Wouldn't this look great with Edison light bulbs?
Elisha found a lamp she loved at World Market and she was inspired to make one of her own. After some trial and error, she made this geometric lamp that fits in the room perfectly!
This lamp was made completely from scratch! Don't worry, Manda has provided detailed instructions that are easy to follow. I love the natural wood of the base.
Donna takes you step by step through making these sawhorse pipe lamps topped with chalkboard shades. I love the look of these and how she decided to make them!
Kimberly was inspired by a lamp she saw on Pinterest and decided she could make it on her own. I love the minimalist look of this lamp with the bare bulb.
Sarah purchased this awesome surveyor's tripod and knew she wanted to create a floor lamp from it. This really looks like you could find it in a high end store!
Chris had a MICKE desk from IKEA and she needed some lighting for it. The desk has a hole for cords to go through. Instead she found a branch to put on an angle through the hole and attached an IKEA RANARP lamp to it.
This is a great IKEA hack that gets you a faux driftwood look and you don't need to build a whole new lamp! Everything was purchased at IKEA—the lamp base, shade and decorative dried willow.
Wood embroidery hoops and chicken wire come together to make a cool rustic light! Just because it is a laundry room doesn't mean it can't have some style.
Although there is only a small amount of wood in this desk lamp, it really is the star of the show. Create a mold and make one of these wood concrete lamps for yourself!
