When I finished re-setting my (antique store) space last week with my newest bench, I decided to take a walk around and see what was new around me.
I found this WHITE vintage globe! I can’t remember when I last saw one~ so I bought it! (It felt. . .elegant!)
And cut it in half–
And gilded the inside–
And trimmed it with vintage ribbon–
And, well, you know~
I made another set of lights!
I found a trio of these light sconces, long ago, at one of the ReStores I love to shop!
I thought they would make for some dressier lights!
*Although the sconces were meant to be hard-wired to a J-box,
they are set with a cord for plug in right now– just add a cord cover!
Wouldn’t they be cute on either side of a girl’s bed, or used in an office?!?
And they’re for sale in my (antq store) space! $65 each
I love the soft glow from the gilding~

I’m sharing this project with these FABulous ladies
and their linky parties!
One of my kids had taken our globe apart (in the interest of science and not geography, no doubt) and I had saved the halves, thinking I’d get it back together some day. Then I saw your post on your nephews’ bedroom re-do and the globe lampshade you had made. It was perfect for above my teenager history loving son’s bed for his wall lamp. It was so easy to put together and looks great. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are a talented genius!!!!!
I love these! Super creative idea!
These are so cool! I was wondering how you turned them into lamps. Thanks for the tutorial. I’d love it if you linked this to my new linky party, “What We’ve Accomplished Wednesdays.”
Have a great weekend!

Another “now why didn’t I think of that” moment. Just found your blog via the Open House party. Will definetely start following you to see what other amazing projects you make!
* Just “found” you by lucky coincidence, as I saw & reeeeeeally love your globe lights. (We lived relatively all over the world in my husband’s 38 years as an Army officer…so, it touches me!)…
YOU, my dear, are very talented!!!!!
Thanks and best,
