Bookcase book lamp
You all know how I like doing little projects with my daughter on the weekends she's here. Since the loft bed is done, I decided to add something to it. The bed has a bookshelf above her pillow. So I decided to make her a reading lamp out of books.
Start with a lamp kit, some old hardbacks, and a drill  Notch the middle of the bottom book for the cord to come out cleanly. Continue adding books and screwing them together with drywall screws as you go.  Wire up the socket  There you go

Thanks. Wish I could say it was an original idea, but I got it online.
