From Drab to Fab: Woman's $0 Lamp Makeover Goes Viral
In a time of rising costs, many are looking for creative ways to improve their homes without breaking the bank. One woman from the US recently demonstrated a clever DIY project that has garnered significant attention online. Kirsten, a DIY enthusiast known online as 'custommadebyksa', transformed an ordinary floor lamp into a stunning tulip-shaped lamp, remarkably similar to a $200 Urban Outfitters design. "I almost sold this lamp on Facebook Marketplace," Kirsten shared, "but then I remembered a TikTok video showing a similar transformation." She meticulously detailed her process, which involved sanding the lamp, creating leaves and petals from flashing, gluing them on, and then spray-painting the entire piece a vintage avocado green. The entire project cost her nothing, as she used materials she already had. The final result is a beautiful, unique lamp, proving that creativity and resourcefulness can lead to impressive results, even on a budget.
