Vintage lamp base hack
Materials: Lyster candle dish, Tallvik table lamp, Florera candle dish
Description:
It took quite a bit of work to get the look I wanted and I'd like to share it with the Ikeahacker world. I bought a vintage ceramic lamp and was determined to replace the brass hardware with brushed stainless steel or nickel to blend into my decor (I have no brass by choice). I found that the Lyster candle dish and the base of the Tallvik lamp, when combined, worked as a base. I used some other parts for the neck, including the Florela candle dish as an accent, or bob�che.
The picture of the completed lamp shows the cast iron, nickel and stainless atop an old cast iron grate that will eventually be inset into the table it's resting on.
