    OK. We're sorry if you own this lamp and LOVE it, but it's kind of become a joke over here at TSG headquarters for being that classic IKEA lamp. So, we decided to make it (and other items you might already own) into chic, modern, and aaaaadorable new decor pieces. What basic things should we make over next?

    I like everything but the lamp. I think y'all have to do this one again. The legs on the table are noticeably crocked. I know y'all aren't wood workers but you could have put the plates on and THEN the legs, that's the whole point of those plates is that you can screw and unscrew the legs. That would have made clamping easier, and thus allowed you to have things fall into square easier. It's clear that the preparation just wasn't there on this one, which is fine, that's something we all go through. I think you've got good ideas on this DiY upcycle, and the concept would be great for a dorm or small living space, but it's not as polished as I expect from y'all.

    • @Elenkoism
      @Elenkoism Před 4 lety +19

      or just buy a slab of mdf or wood from a shop.. it's not super expensive and then it gives the option to actually drill in the legs which would immediately make it straight(er). Cool idea with the tray but err... perhaps not the best material for that diy..

    • @CraftyLaura7

    • @briannamacqueen
      @briannamacqueen Před 4 lety +41

      the base of the lamp screws off so ideally she should have just made a hole in the centre of the tray that is slightly larger than the diameter of the lamp, slid the lamp pole through the tray and then screwed it back into the base. Much easier and looks better than the way-to-big hole/slit situation :(

    • @klear19634
      @klear19634 Před 4 lety +11

      Also pointing out that the hole in the top had a chip and wasnt really that great of a cut either. Maybe more sanding was needed but the wood they used was really thin anyway so idk how much u can sand it down until it becomes structurally worse. I think it really looked offputting. I hate that they use bare wood it looks so incomplete in projects. They should have stained it to match with the cork

    The funny thing about the refillable bulk stuffs is that is what we USED to do pre-plastic. You went to your general store, you asked for X amount of flour, and it was either in a burlap or paper bag or you brought your container and filled it. It's going backwards but in a good way and for the best reasons. #weonlyhaveoneearth

      Andrea Moore plastic can only be recycled so many times and recycling is actually really bad to our environment because it uses more resources than making a new plastic bottle. At the bulk places you can use your reusable bags or jars that will last for years so no need to waste or recycle because you’ll just clean it and take it back in with you.

And they showed a lot of the steps where they were figuring out how to attach the lamp shade, which is really helpful to someone who would run into the same problem, and that problem solving could be applied to various projects.

    For my lamp, I plan on spraying it gray instead of black, the black is just a bit to harsh so the gray will lighten it up some.
    For the lamp shade, I'm going to cut down the original shade to 1/4 the size just to keep the base (that way it fits back in perfectly) and affix a bendable metal mesh top to create the missing part of the bowl.
    Going to spray the bottom of the cut shade black, then use a gun metal ish color for the metal top.
    Going to create a similar look for the smaller half to use up all the materials I'm going to buy. Looked up that metal sheeting you used for the speaker, found one similar and I love it!
    Going to see if I can find a cute knob to cover the twisty switch to turn the lamp on. I know hobby lobby has a bunch, just gotta find one thatll fit! Maybe a cool gear, to go with the gray industrial type theme.
    Still thinking of an idea to decorate the bottom of the base where the shade meets the poles. I feel like that needs some details to bring it all together and give it an expensive look.
    Hope this inspires someone to diy their lamp! I got mine from Target for $7 so putting some money in for materials is still cheaper than most lamps!

    *PLEASE READ TO THE END FOR IMPORTANT MESSAGE*
    Suggestions for when you re-do the lamp:
    1. Try going for a more industrial or mid-century modern look because the lamp pole is black metal
    2. Try incorporating the metal lamp shade into the design (and it fits into the industrial theme)
    3. Or, use a natural fiber lampshade (such as jute material) which would fit into the mid-century modern look
    4. Since the metal lampshade doesn't fit into the ikea lamp, shave down the inside circle part to make it slide around the light bulb part of the lamp
    5. Use hairpin legs on the table or those slanted solid wood legs (both of which are very popular in mid-century modern looks)
    IMPORTANT MESSAGE: I know this makeover video was supposed to be affordable for people to do but if you're going to re-do it in the future, focus more on executing the idea and don't sacrifice execution for affordability because the truth is, most people who watch your videos don't even do any of these diy's. Also, take this as constructive criticism because in no way, shape, or form do I want to discourage you guys from making videos. You light up my day and it really entertains me to watch you guys, but I also know you guys don't give up on something that could use some more effort and improvements 😊
    Best of luck! Love ya ❤❤❤

    I think that the speaker cover could be even better if it was double sided with the aluminum sheet. Just because it would effect the sound quality even less.

    I sadly still have THE lamp in my living room. I think the table legs look a bit awkward with the existing lamp base down there too. I like how the shade looks on it - good idea to reupurpose the bulb clip mechanism from a thrift store shade. I didn't know that cork contact paper was a thing! Neat! :D

    @winterlighthome Před 4 lety +4

    The over the door hooks turned out supercute! But, it would've been more like the inspo if you'd stained the beads. I personally prefer it w/the lighter beads, but you were going for inspo repro so the beads needed to be stained. But, this was a really pretty makeover! Well done!
    Green option for refilling handsoap (what I use in my bathroom): 1/5 liquid Dr. Bronner's in the scent of your choice to 4/5 water, shake well, refill your pump bottle as needed. Also, good to keep in a refillable spray bottle in the bathroom (and another in the kitchen): water, a little bit of Dr. Bronner's, a few drops of tea tree oil. Good for multiple cleaning uses.
    *cringes* The speaker is pretty, but it wrecks the sound quality. You needed to look more into the science of speakers, sound waves, and directionality before undertaking this DIY. You just made your music sound like it's buried in the back of a cave. It looks really good, but you need to modify it to suit it's purpose properly - some strategic hole drilling on top or the open grid panels being on the sides, too.
    substanTial
    Sloppy on the lamp. Too sloppy. Distracting. The top edge of the band on the lampshade isn't straight. There's the rough area in the notch cut into the tray. The 3 legs around the base look are a cluttered mess esp. because they aren't evenly distributed around the base. And, the whole thing is too wobbly, too unsteady. If anything, you could've solved the instability problem that comes with those lamps. This project is the big disappointment of the video. Maybe there just really is no hope for those lamps. lol

    I have that lamp. I think everyone has it. I macramed around the pole, arm and covered the base with the same macrame cord. I swapped out the light fixtures for a lampshade like you did but covered it with cane webbing. I also did the smaller one with a much smaller lmapshade. I'm not thrilled about the look of the smaller lampshade but it is what it is. Overall it was a success. I love the table idea and think I'll make one for mine! I may go back and add some cork to mine also. Love the look of yours!
