Almost two years ago when I was off in Ohio helping tidy up my parents’ basement I set aside a few things to have shipped out here for use. This included a couple of table lamps and several tables.
Here are pics of the lamps. I ditched the shades was they were very dusty and also pretty moldy and just had the pretty porcelain and brass lamps shipped.
This past winter I finally did something with them. First I used a combination of Brasso and Bar Keeper’s friend to clean the up. Here are some before and some progress shots…
Once they were all spiffy again, I added two cute feather ball shades I found on Amazon. I had to alter the harps with a bit of wire, as I wanted the bulbs to sit in the middle of the shades. Agent Smith found some pretty vintage looking fabric wrapped electric wire, so with that and some new sockets and plugs he rewired both of them. I added some new bases with felt and they were soon ready for prime-time.
The results are stunning: but you will have to wait for the next to posts to see them in action.
