First of November

This morning I noticed how much darker it's going to be in my apartment during the winter. Thus, I decided I needed a lamp for my room. My first instinct was to go to Target. While walking to the bus stop, I decided that I didn't need a new lamp, so instead, I ventured a little further down to The Salvation Army. I found the cute little lamp in the picture in which I'm going to use an energy saving light bulb and upcycle. I'm going to paint the base a vibrant blue with leftover paint I had from previously painting my kitchen.
Along with the lamp, I also got cute Christmas tins for 66 cents each to wrap my Christmas goodies in! Not only did I save a good chunk of cash, but I also didn't support corporations with making more. I thrift shopped and had fun doing it! What are some things you've upcycled from a thrift shop?
