    Default Repurposed Yard Sale Find

    Last summer I purchased a milk glass lamp. It had a bowl base and a grape leaf design. I bought it because my mother used to buy that pattern and it reminded me of her. Well, the shade was shabby and it used the kind of shade that fits over the bulb. Hard to do with the energy efficient bulbs! I couldn't stand not using it, so I removed the wiring and transformed it into a candle holder. I will fill the bowl with seasonal objects and use it as a centerpiece. I love it!

    I love re-purposed items. You did a fantastic job.

    Almost all the furniture in my home is second hand. I love finding new uses for old things. It adds character to your home and a personal touch.
