DIY Lamp!!!

Below is the inspiration

for several $100 from

an expensive home design website...

Now here is the creation

from Team Meyer for under $40!!!

 

My husband and I spent over 6 hours in 100 degree heat

in the garage working on this amazing project together.

I bought the books indvidually from a lady who inherited

her mother's library in hues of orange.  She did wonder

why I liked The Hardy Boys and Inorganic Chemistry as the

same person's reading interest! I didn't tell her that I was

planning on drilling a hole through them; luckily the hole

is only 1/2 inch wide so you can still read around the text

if necessary! We disassembled/tore open an old lamp to use

for the wiring.  While I put the books on the post, my husband

was trying to get the wires to cooperate.

A bit of glue, patience, and creativity; we were able make a

successful and beautiful new lamp!
