You watched us design and build this house in 150 days, but the work is far from over.
We're about to jump into my favorite part of the process of bringing all this together.
Join me for an exclusive look right here on eHow Home. You know, getting the lightening
right in a house is so important. Now I'm looking for some big over-scaled things, and
I've seen some of these lamps around -- I like these a lot. This is something we made
this year. I've been thinking about it a good while. It revolves around this mechanism that
attaches to this bottle. This bottle is made in Spain, and it's recycled glass. Really?
Yeah. The original one's for wine storage. Okay, gotcha. But this is new item. Yeah.
Anyway, after we got the lamp done, I was thinking I gotta have a cardboard box or something
to ship it in to get it around my stores. Right. And, of course, I don't have cardboard
boxes that fit it, so I made this wooden crate to hold it. That's good looking. So then we
got to thinking about it and we said: You know, we could fix this thing so it's gotta
top to it and then somebody can have an end table. Look at that! So we even had a finished
once so you see what it would look like. That is awesome. It adds a little bit of value
at no extra charge. You're amazing. Hey, you know, the thing that's also really great about
this is the scale of that shade is really perfect. And that scale is so important, and
I think it's overlooked. And we're trying to have a few oversized pieces in these rooms.
Well, you know, today, with modern computer technology and everything, you can show how
one size shade would look with another size lamp and it's all in scale. Yes, you can compare
them much easier. It makes that job a lot easier to do now. It really does. Now I'm
just curious, do these only come in the clear? This is got a slight blue cast to it, but
it really reads clear. We call that cola bottle kinda colored glass. Right. But, actually,
we can this lamp in any color. Right. We got these, these are all hand blown. I saw those,
the blues and the greens. I can do any of those colors in them, and we'll have these
in the store soon. Wow, they are really handsome, good looking. I love the fact that they're
recycled too. Yep. We've also got some antique wine vessels that we could do these in. Yeah.
So it's just up to you. Might have to do different shade depending on the scale of it. Right,
right. Scale is everything. Yep. Paul, these are awesome, and an end table too. That's
great. Hey, if you're enjoying these segments, make sure you check in regularly. We're gonna
pick out one of these lamps and try to figure out which one's gonna work in the house. I
don't know the color, yet, but stay tuned. Make sure you subscribe to eHow Home.
