I’ve seen my fair share of lamps that looked like the “before” version of this one. I’ve even owned one or two. Like most people, I didn’t have the foresight to imagine such a simple, boring lamp could be turned into anything more, but for switching the lampshade. Thankfully, Katie at Matsutake does have vision, and she managed to turn this lackluster piece into something spectacular!
Believe it or not, she upcycled 14 plastic Coke bottles to create this beauty. I can’t believe how high-end the final result looks!
