I am so thrilled to share my latest thrift store find. This lovely pair of glass lamps were definitely from another decade. But I took one look at them and knew they could easily be updated and be really chic. In fact, I quickly grabbed them off the shelf at Goodwill before anyone else had any ideas. These lamps were MINE!
They had a thin film of amber-colored glass glaze that was flaking off. So I used a razor blade to scrape it all off the glass so they were completely clear.
Better already, right?
Then I took out the old wiring (I was worried about them being a fire hazard) and replaced them with new cords. I also spray painted the bases and all the metal pieces with a Rustoleum Satin Nickel spray paint. After reassembling I just popped on a new shade and BAM!
Gorgeous.
Can you believe that these lamps were only $10 a piece? Add another $11 for each lamp kit and $15 for the shade and you have a grand total of = $36 per lamp!! That's a lot easier on the wallet than this one from Pottery Barn for $199...
And that's just for the lamp base, folks.
Happy thrifting!

I LOVE them! You did a great job seeing their potential and giving them a new, chic life!!
Wow, this lamp looks amazing. Though it looks like a bedside lamp, I think I can have it on my work table. I provide dissertation PowerPoint Presentation help and spend most of my time on my study table. I think I need to have it there. Lol, I was so lost in the aesthetic beauty of it that I couldn’t concentrate on the written content. Anyway, I will come to this post and read it again – once I am done with the current project – a presentation of course.
Wow, this hack gave the lamps a new look. My daughter also uses to do things like these at home and craft new creative things for our home décor. But these days, she is heavily loaded with academic essay writing work. For which, she said that “I need someone write my essay for me online” and I felt that. Because only after getting professional help she can get relaxed.
I just purchased a set exactly like yours. I paid $30 for the pair just needed a good cleaning. I will probably rewire them too.
