It is time for the Thrift Store Upcycle Challenge, and I made this DIY Chandelier Floor Lamp that I am in love with.
This is the easiest project that I have done since we started this challenge. Usually, I take items from the Thrift Store and turn it into something completely different.
This time I used two expected items to make this floor lamp.
I found the chandelier at my favorite thrift store and a few of the strands of beads had come loose but it was so simple to put back on. Thrift Stores always have floor lamps and most of the lamps would work for this project. The chandelier needs to have a plug-in cord to work.
I just recently got a spray paint shelter from HomeRight and I wish that I had this for the past 20 years. Using hanging clothes rack works to hold my chandelier so that I can spray paint it. the chandelier is sprayed with one coat of primer and two coats of white paint.
I cut the cord off the floor lamp because it does not need to work. The chandelier has a switch on the plug so the chandelier works. You don’t need for the floor lamp to work, it just holds the working chandelier.
The assembly
I slipped the chandelier over the floor lamp.
It fit into the socket perfectly. I did not need to attach it because it is in there securely.
I can’t stop staring at my DIY Chandelier Floor Lamp in the corner of my bedroom because it looks so elegant! I can’t wait to go thrift shopping for next month’s challenge. Don’t forget to visit my friend’s blogs and see what they have created.

OK…pick me up off of the floor…what will you think of next! And I am SERIOUSLY thinking of swinging by Birmingham on my way to Atlanta…were you serious about the invite?

I absolutely love this!! Do you think it would be possible to do something like this and have it work as well?

Megan, I am SO glad that you mentioned this. The chandelier works. It has a button on the cord to turn it on and off. I need to go add this to my post. Thank you very much!!

Ashley ~ 3 Little Greenwoods says
What a fabulous idea! You did such an amazing job of marrying the two pieces and making a unique piece.
Thanks so much for the DIY inspiration!
Cecilia says
Genius! I adore how it turned out. I have an old lamp I was wondering what to do with…probably needs new wiring plus the glass shade is missing. But with this, those don’t matter! Pinning so I remember . Coming over from Vintage Charm party.
RS says
Lovely. I have a similar rusty iron curly-q thing that I do not know what to do with. It doesn’t have a lamp or cord, but this give me inspiration to make it work. I’ve looked at it and looked at it and decided it needs beads or crystals hanging off its branches. I am really liking the white paint too. Thanks!

Doreen Nordstrom says
ABSOLUTE GENIUS!
I have been lusting after one of these RH lamps forever, and just couldn’t afford it.
But YOU have de-mystified how we can do it for much much less, and I am SO grateful to you!
I’m going to make one for my outdoor Thanksgiving feast with many many guests (we have a French theme)
You will be our mystery guest in spirit!
thanks again
