Old Radio turned Light...time to "shine"...


Chipping with Charm: Old Radio to Light...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/

This isn't the first time I've shown you this "jazzy" radio light.

I've done an actual post on here on my blog.  So I decided now it the time.

I bought the radio shell at the Country Junk Sale a few years ago.  The inside was empty other that some "lovely" old velvet...which I ripped out immediately.  I cut some vintage button patterned vellum to fit the spot and secured it with glue dots.

Next we drilled a hole to fit a clip in bulb from an old Christmas House...perfect.

And screwed on some wooden drawer knobs for feet.

    Great idea for repurposing the old radio. One of my favorite lamps of Party Junk this weekend.
