FIA! You are so creative! I loved them all ...But if I had to choose a favorite, it has gotta be the desk. I'm glad you didn't stain it. The satin sheen go gave it with the modern drawer pulls, perfection!
I can't believe I never thought of the Magic Eraser on vintage lampshades! 🎉🎉🎉. I've been looking for a vintage lampshade for this cool regency 40's lamp I found and the shades that fit have all been a little bit discolored. I'm excited to try this. Thanks, as always, for my favorite videos.
Hi FIA 👋 YES! I agree on the on the big box retail stores & eveybody having the same stuff ~ its like " copy & paste lol" I love the thrill of thrifting & turning my finds into unique pieces! That desk is 🎯 The lidded box is so pretty. Hobby Lobby has alot of nice pulls & knobs too!
That little freebie lamp...I believe those were sold at Target, I bought 2 of them. They all had different and interesting bases. I didn't love the stark white shade, so I painted one with some thinned down chalk paint and then added an allover shagreen stencil in a metallic glaze. Looks so much more high end now! And yes, I'd love the one you have too! LOL. Enjoy the holiday weekend!
I've been following you since the beginning of the Covid pandemic began in 2020. This is my first comment. I literally WAIT for your Sunday posts, and I've been incorporating your ideas; my home looks fabulous and very high end. IMO, you are the best! Love your videos....music, pace, photography, you've mastered it all. Love from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Your desk rescue...crazy great! Really love it! Did you know lamp bulb socket just unscrew, loosen and pull it all out? and then you insert a new one? Hardware store can totally hook you up. Great quality fine on the your lamp and rug. WELL DONE! And thank you for the encouragement to try it myself!
Go to a light bulb store, and ask for a mogul bulb. There may be adaptors, too. I love what you did with the desk -- it's unrecognizable. And that rug is so gorgeous You are amazing!
You're the best Fia!! 💗 Oh my goodness, that desk!!! You made it into a masterpiece!! It was worth the time and effort you put into it. You are just so creative!! How kind of the lady to give you the lamp and vase. They are so nice. You are so sweet and generous to pass on the lamp. Thank you for working so hard to put out such amazing content. 🤗🤗🤗
@Fia We have a lamp similar to the brass patina floor lamp that you paid $4. We got ours at an estate sale, together with our first washer and dryer and a ‘jury’ chair. The light bulb we found that fits ours is called a mogul bulb and we have to get them at an old-time hardware store in downtown Kirkwood, MO. The lamp shade is white glass and I can best describe it as a large bowl with an open bottom. The first shade we had broke after several years when the lamp was knocked over. It’s quite a heavy lamp and the shade was heavy, too; I’m not sure how it got knocked it over. We had to take the broken shade to a store that sold hanging lamps and these old floor lamps, etc. and they ordered us a new shade that fit perfectly. We’ve had our lamp for almost 45 years; one of the first purchases we made of our married life. ☺️
The light bulb for the floor lamp is called "mogul light bulb" which has the larger size base. There are mogul light bulb adapter and are available at Lowes and other places. I purchased an adapter from Amazon and it made my lamp take regular light bulbs which don't give off as much heat and saves energy. Also the lamp shade you purchased would work but you need a replacement light fixture globe - often found at thrift stores - not a round glove shape -they are wider at the top and the bottom is open to fit around the bulb. You may have noticed there are holes in the top of the lamp and that is where small screws go to hold the globe in place. Good luck! Great video
Es que comprar nuevo si es la idiotez más grande. Con talento, paciencia y dedicación, termina uno haciendo maravillas y ahorrándose un billete 💵 💪🏻 Good job Fia. 💯👏🏻 Aprendí a comprar usado y a renovar.👌🏻
I'd love the lamp! I have a great place for it in may kitchen. And you are truly inspiring. I have done so many of your DIYs and I now see thrifted items as awesome home finds! Thanks of all you do! keep it up!
Fabulous as always! The light bulb that goes in that age of lamp is a mogul bulb, or mogul base. I just checked Amazon and they have them - hardware stores should also still carry them. I have a few antique floor lamps that require these bulbs.
I have 1 of those mini lamps and have searched and searched for a second with no luck. I’d love to be the recipient :) How nice of the rug lady to gift you the vase❤️ and lamp❤️ The desk is stunning!!!! If I’m ever looking for a needle in a haystack, Im gonna enlist your help because your finds are amazing!!!! Great one….again👍👍❤️
Mini lamp ❤ I also LOVE how that desk turned out! I’m thinking about doing a similar look on a vintage table with a built in fold out sewing machine. The machine is a gorgeous matte black and I think it would contrast natural wood so much better than the dark stain it currently has.
You are sooooooo talented! I could not ever do such DIY’s! I can decorate but DIY decor is a but challenging for me. My husband DIY’s all home projects. I have been watching for some time & I love your ideas!! ❤️
perfect mini-lamp for a kitchen counter. Would love it! Must be on a mini lamp kick today. My favorite is the mini lamp at the end you made from a candle stick.
That DESK! Is FAB U LOUS! Definitely my favorite & I am interested in the lamp if you haven’t already assigned it to anyone. Beautifully done challenge AGAIN!
Love the desk! I'm glad you didn't stain it just sealed it. It looks so high end with the natural color and the modern knobs. The patinaed floor lamp is a real find. Have a Happy Fourth of July ❤
Since I get such nice deals at yard sales on so many things….when I get textiles, I use Diva lux laundry detergent leaving it not only clean, but amazingly scented that fills the room. I reserve this detergent for special uses like this! AND, I love that you buy ahead….to autumn….or whatever. So smart! $$
Great video as always. The floor brass lamp has some holes where the large socket, so it probably had a glass piece that was open on the top. I think they are called a Torchiere lamp.
I think what you did with that floor lamp is absolutely perfect! I want to say that the original lampshade would have been glass facing upward which is very dated but you made it look way more modern and timeless ❤ also I love when your videos pop up, I wish that they could go on forever haha! It's such a good reminder to look at trending higher end brands to get inspiration before you go to the thrift store... Sometimes I will just go out thrifting expecting to find inspiration in whatever is there. But I think that having some ideas in mind while you go thrifting is way more fun and effective! I hope that you enjoy time with your family and thank you so much for the time and effort you put into all your videos!
Mini lamp, if not already requested. I've been looking for a new one that doesn't 'buzz' for my desk. I'm in Indy and will pay for postage too. I love all of your finds. Great eye for detail.
I think that lowes and Home Depot have adapters that you can screw into the bigger socket. (For your floor lamp )They are usually the side of a standard lightbulb
Hello and happy Sunday beautiful sunshine 🌞 ❤ I love the style of the square white basket 🧺 you did such a magnificent job on the table love it 😍oh wow that vase vase is beautiful. Love the mini lamp. Everything you create is absolutely gorgeous and so detailed. Thank you for sharing another inspirational video and you enjoy the rest of your Sunday and stay safe and blessed ❤🌈 my favorite is that table and happy 4th of July to you and your family!
Thanks so much for the inspiration. I use my desk daily so really had to put something on it to protect it. Used a min wax poly acrylic in matte and it was easy to use, fast drying, no smell, and easy cleanup. Turned out fabulous!
Wow !! That desk!!! It looks like $3-4 thousands of dollars!! So beautiful
You are my favorite UA-cam upcycler. I appreciate the style of your posts.
Everything is beautiful but that rug … wow!!
That desk? E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G! Such a talent!
The desk turned out beautiful but I really really love a little white box with the lid just changing out that hardware made a huge difference.
You definitely have a gift for thrifting and DIY. Love all your finds and ideas.
I totally agree, she’s amazing!

Go to a light bulb store, and ask for a mogul bulb. There may be adaptors, too.

I can’t get over what you find at thrift stores. Ours is total crap. Everything looks beautiful.
How lucky you were to get that “real” wood desk for free. Turned out beautifully! Loved all the projects.
So much fun it put into ur videos thanks for sharing all ur awesome ideas always Laura
perfect mini-lamp for a kitchen counter. Would love it! Must be on a mini lamp kick today. My favorite is the mini lamp at the end you made from a candle stick.
That desk is beautiful Love your dupes
I’m thinking it was a sort of torchiere lamp.
You are incredibly talented. Happy 4th!
Thank you so much!!!!
That desk came out beautifully!!!❤
The shade for the floor lamp would be glass and facing upward. You should be able to find a bulb with no problem.
Yay!!! I ended up finding something thank goodness!!!
I actually prefer the drum shade and would have never thought of that! I will know!! lol
You are right it is called a tougher. I think that socket is for a halogen bulb 😊
The bulb is called a mogul bulb.
I would love the mini lamp for my kitchen.
I love love love your thrift store challenges- so inspirational and you have helped me think outside of the box when choosing my thrift finds
Thank you so much for your support!!
I really loved every one of the items you found !!!

I bought a mcm tripod shaped floor lamp with that ceramic light bulb holder in it. I took it out, put a new modern sized one in. Works fine!!
Oh my I loved the desk dupe! I also love all the items in the giveaway! I use green all the time and the baskets are fantastic!!
You did such a wonderful job on the desk. I appreciate the elbow grease.
