the case of the chagrined floor lamp


·
gently lifted from my godfather's home, i rescued the disused lamp from the scrap heap. 
as i set to work on it, i began to fall out of love with the work involved. 
i did tear out the electrics, started sanding, then stopped. 
clearly i had to reconsider the item.

this lamp really begs to be out in the open. 
·
it says, really, gimme ground! 
·
so there it is. 
·
as is. 
·
over the moon to hang out with the birds {who will not model, of course}, 
·
offering dandy plant space at the bottom of any birdy action, 
·
future vintage rust guaranteed in our northern hemisphere climate.

chagrined floor lamp case closed.

  4. Right, well, if it's going to be an embarrassment, it can go out with the birds, who, I believe, understand these things. :) Good job.
