Pottery Barn Knockoff

Pottery Barn has some pretty smoking hot lamps. I especially love these:

Eva colored Glass Table Lamp

Atrium Glass Table Lamp

Problem is the Eva lamp goes for $99 and the Atrium lamp goes for $139. No way was I going to dish out that kind of dough for a lamp.

That is, until I saw a large bottle similar to the above at Ross for $15. Wham-o! The idea struck me, I can make my own PB knockoff lamp!!


COST BREAKDOWN
bottle vase = $15
 lamp kit = $10
lamp shade = $3
flange = $2
TOTAL COST = $30

PARTY HARDY


Tips on how to make this lamp can be found after the jump.

Guest Bedroom Lamp Update

The teeny tiny lamp we originally had in the guest bedroom just wasn't doing it anymore. So after a little price shopping I decided it would be much thriftier to use a lamp I already had.

This lamp (along with it's twin) was originally housed in our master bedroom once upon a time when we were apartment dwellers. I don't know what I was thinking buying that lampshade. Shame on me!

After a coat of glossy red paint and a lamp shade I found on clearance at Target, she's a completely different lamp! Viola!

Cost Breakdown:
Lamp Shade = $13
1 can of spray paint = $3
Total Cost = $16
