My Mom and I have been looking for fun lamps for the cottage in Maine. I picked a blue bottle lamp from Sundance, but she did much better than I did. She took a French bottle she’d bought at an antique store for 35 bucks and had it turned into this:
Since then, I realized that my Mom is quite the hip designer. Two of my favorite designers have recently been doing the same thing. For example, Tom Scheerer used this lamp:
Also, Peter Dunham used these two:
Next time you see a beautiful bottle in a shop for a steal, imagine it with a shade on top! By the way, the last picture shows one where the wire goes through the lamp, which may run you some more bucks. The others let the wires just hang down from the top of the bottle, which will save you some bucks.
- photo credits. Hmmm, I’m an idiot. I forgot where I wrote down the sources and photographer names, which sucks. I think they all came from House Beautiful, and I know the last one definitely did, via the Press section on Peter Dunham Design’s website. If anyone knows any of the information, please write in the comments so I can add these credits. Thanks!

I debated running the cord down through the lamp but was warned there is always the chance that the glass bottle could shatter. Also, I realized that Simon Pearce has the cords on his glass bottle lamps running down from the top of the bottles—-and I love his lamps. Old bottles make fabulous lamps—-they reflect the light beautifully.
