Makeover a Thrift Store Lamp Shade With Dollar Store Marbles

Sharing is caring!

I am still refinishing my recent thrift store finds from NH. I saw this awesome wrought iron floor lamp in my favorite whitewash finish, but I totally didn’t need another lamp.

I figured I’d just peek at the price just for the heck of it-big mistake! This baby was $7.99-how could I turn that down?!! It is solid too, not that lightweight pretend iron.

When I picked up my daughter from College Orientation she looks in the back, shakes her head & said I see you went thrifting?? I explained what a steal it was but she didn’t seem to understand, lol.

Wait until you see what I did with the shade. I’ve been on a real coastal look lately, with blues and sea foams. I picked up these gorgeous almost beach glass marbles at the Dollar Store and used E6000 glue.

I picked up some-not sure what it is called-tassel trim maybe at Joann Fabrics. So for a grand total of $16 I have a brand new one of a kind lamp.
 
When it is lit it almost looks like stained glass. It is just lovely! I hope I can find somewhere to put it!
