We are constantly driven by creating new life for unwanted objects. Found in junk shops, charity, car boots and sometimes given to us by our customers who say 'see what you can do with this!'
This Light shade has been inspired by the current hot trend for industrial style lighting, usually very expensive, but with a little imagination we create something special for a little less :)

Full description

Superb! We love these repurposed lamps in our shop; bright, colourful, so trendy and a real talking point!

These metal lamp shades are recycled from kitchen colanders bought from local charity shops(donation of £2 usually!). Each one is slightly different, some have handles, others don't, and the holes are in different patterns on each too! The ones in the picture have now been sold (9/1/15) so the patterns and design might vary from the ones shown.

I clean and prepare the surface of each one; then primed, painted and lacquered on the outside, and polished on the inside to remove scratches, marks etc.

They generally measure around 9" - 10" (23-26cm) across and the depth options are; Deep 5" (13cm) or Shallow 4"(10cm).

The Deep option allows for a nice oversized Globe lamp (pictured) but the Shallow option looks best with a long slim Edison bulb.

A 1.25"(28mm) hole has been drilled in the top to accommodate a standard bulb holder as shown in pic 4

Many times have we seen similar things in kitchen shops purposefully made and very expensive. These are great value for money and I love to carry on upcycling waste objects into original home decorations as long as you love to buy them!
