Shed Some Light On The Subject
My bedroom has no light fixtures, depending solely on plugged-in lamps. Fortunately, I was given three when I moved in: a floor reading lamp, and two table-tops. Both of them were ugly as heck. One of them had brass-colored metal and was filled with fake flowers. Yuck! I disassembled it and spray-painted the metal bronze. I suck at spray-painting but I hope the mistakes aren't too obvious. I then let it sit for a couple weeks while I ordered origami paper and waited for it to arrive. I was pretty happy with the paper I ordered from Michaels. It is printed with Japanese on the packet! I then spent Saturday evening and a little time on Sunday afternoon folding origami cranes to stuff the lamp with. The hard part was getting them in upside down and filling the lamp full enough. I used about a third of the packet of paper, folded up. Before I screwed everything back together, I put a bulb in and tested, to make sure I had rewired it...
