Nautical Lamp Re-Vamp

Nautical Lamp Re-Vamp

Summer in the city is upon us, making me covet days at the beach like it’s my job to do so. I love creating little escapes in my urban apartment and my bathroom is where I pretend I am sitting on a beach, grabbing a respite from the city heat. In today’s video, I take an old lamp and give it a nautical revamp! Check out the complete photo tutorial (and PDF) at Make: Projects: http://makeprojects.com/Project/Nautical-Lamp-Re-Vamp/960/1
