    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!

Great quality fine on the your lamp and rug. WELL DONE! And thank you for the encouragement to try it myself!

    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. ☺️

  • @scsnow2041
    @scsnow2041 Рік тому

    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

    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 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.

    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! $$

    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!

    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!
