Tim Thornton on Instagram: "Turning a vase into a lamp This elegant porcelain vase was made by Bridget Drakeford, who lives just on the other side of the River Wye from me. I thought I'd turn it into a table lamp, but I wanted to be able to turn it back into a vase if I wanted to, which meant not drilling any holes or making any other permanent modifications. So the answer is to use a bung fitting, which expands to fit the top of the vase, and have the cable enter the lamp just below the bulb holder. I also decided to use a bayonet bulb, as that allows the switch to be incorporated into the bulb holder, which cannot be done with European Edison bulb holders operating at 230V. Look carefully at the bulb holder, and tell me what the 3rd prong is for! All it needs now is a decent bulb (inst Electric Lamp, The Switch, Edison Bulb, Porcelain Vase, The Other Side, The River, Tell Me, A Table, Turning

I Re-Created the Look of a $900 Lamp for Just $4—Here’s How

I’m always looking for ways to make interior design more affordable, so when I came across this gorgeous vintage ceramic jug lamp, I knew I had to try to channel the same look for my own home. That sort of textured, earthen look is really popular right now, and looks particularly good on vases—but I had a feeling that this same technique could bring a lot of character to lamps, too.

DIY Project Idea: How To Make a Lamp Out of Anything

The key to making a table lamp is finding the correct socket set-up and mount. Some readymade kits already exist but, otherwise, you have to figure out what works best for your chosen vessel-turned-lamp base. I myself had a random wooden vase/candleholder that perfectly accommodated a basic globe shade from the hardware store. It was screaming to become a lamp, and I was more than happy to oblige.
