DRIFTWOOD LAMP

I saw a similar lamp in a magazine once whilst at mother in laws for a visit.  It was the exact same IKEA lamp I already had so I was immediately inspired to make one myself.

BEFORE     &    AFTER

First I spray painted the metal base white.
Then I went to my bag of driftwood odds & ends and glue gunned them on, which was a little tricky  getting the placement just right.
After that I gave the branches a whitewash of paint a couple of times.
Then decided the lampshade needed a bit of rustic flair so I glued on some rope.
And voila!

I'm still not really sure how I feel about it as I think the one in the magazine looks nicer, but anyhoodles, I gave it shot.
