Tree Trunk Lamp

As I lay awake in bed, this is when my ideas start flowing.



Some are great, and others come from a tired, and worn out brain.



When something awesome hits, I peek across the bed to see if my husband is still awake.



I just have to tell someone.



Here is one of the many crazy normal ideas, I have came up with.

A tree trunk lamp.

Sorry about the lighting in the picture. This was taken in my dungeon of a room.

My lovely before picture.

I use to love this lamp, but it no longer went with my decor.

So why not use some spackling, to revamp this lamp.



Just so you know I used my finger for everything. I'm not really sure why.



Yes I said  everything, paint and all.

I first put a small smooth coat of spackling on and let it dry.

I then put a thick second coat on.



This is where I put in my texture.

Tree knots. I just piled on the spackling for these

Why not a little heart. It will be sitting next to the bed.


I sanded some down, so there was not any sharp pointy parts.



I told Baylie I was taking a picture. She of course wanted to pose beside it.


What a HUGE help she was.


She held the can of spackling ,and while I wasn't  was looking, she stuck her finger in.

I painted my tree trunk a gray mixed with white color.


I used gray in some areas more then others to give more shading.

I love my new tree trunk lamp.


Also I love having one of a kind products.
