Where Ideas for your Home Meet Inspiration for your Heart
I found it residing waayyy back in the corner on the bottom shelf hiding behind all of the other lamps. You know back there in the brass wasteland. I loved its beautiful shape and cute little shell finial but it was looking a little shabby topped off with an tattered pleated shade four sizes too big.
Why on earth am I showing you an etched glass snowflake lamp in August? Why would I want to dig through my Christmas bins in a 90 degrees attic and clunk my head on the rafters over and over again? Why would I risk my family looking at me like I had lost my mind working with fake snow and snowflake stencils?
Why?
I’ll tell you why!
I was issued a challenge by the folks at Hometalk and Lamps Plus. Take this plain lamp and transform it for the holidays. And when I’m issued a challenge, well, you better believe I’m going to accept it!
I was really wanting to find a way to “fill” the lamp while still celebrating the simple beauty of the glass. I’ve always wanted to try using glass etching cream and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. So, with my 40% off coupon in hand, I picked some up at the craft store and began my glass etching adventures.
