Sometimes it is just too hard to let some things go and in this case, it was a black lamp base. For a number of years it has been sitting in my storage room collecting dust.
Well, I stumbled across a darling lamp in one of my favorite stores, Anthropologie and there it was.....the perfect bunny Lamp. Unfortunately, the Runway Bunny Ensemble lamp is no longer available at the store or online but here is a photo of it. Created by the Swedish design team "Front", a cheeky hare proudly dons a top hat (the lampshade) to model it in your home. At 13.5" H, it was priced at $199. A little too expensive for a whimsical accent but a great inspiration piece!!!
I could not get it off my mind and a few weeks later while shopping, I came across a darling white ceramic garden bunny. I really love the crackle and aged finish on my bunny.
It appeared to be the correct size for my lamp base so I bought it and it was. I then adhered to the base with a household glue....a perfect fit. I found a burlap drum shade at Walmart. It is part of their Better Homes And Gardens line and I couldn't pass it up at $9.97.
I could have kept it simple but decided to add just a touch of black grosgrain ribbon to the top and bottom. Grosgrain ribbon and glue, the perfect combination!
Project #4 Complete!

My 'Runway Bunny Ensemble' lamp is part of my Guest Room Makeover Project that I look forward to sharing with you in the near future.

ReplyDeleteJust re-purposed an old headboard into a chalkboard. To re-purpose is such joy! Blessings!
Great job. I like yours much better than the Anthropology one.
ReplyDeleteI am a bunny nut, Heather, and can't even begin to tell you how much I love this! Off and on for a long time, I've looked for an affordable rabbit/bunny lamp and haven't been able to find one. Never thought to make my own!

Absolutely adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI like yours much better than the Anthropologie rabbit. You can see ALL of your rabbit and the colors are more natural and appealing on yours. Well done!
ReplyDeleteCute! I agree with several other comments I saw...yours is definitely better than the Anthropologie one...even if I didn't know the crazy price difference!

Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found
ReplyDeletea sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and
said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
