Rewiring 101

A great table lamp can cost a small fortune, but if you like to shop, you can find beautiful lamps at flea markets, estate sales, and even garage sales for a fraction of the price. The only downside? They often don't work. But that's a fixable problem, and a nice project for a rainy afternoon.

Tip: Give yourself a couple of hours to figure this out. The great thing about this project is that there are no time constraints on getting it completed. The lamp will sit quietly waiting for you to fix it without interrupting the household.
