Three elements come together to make a charming indoor planter. Trellis is cut to size and attached to the back of a discarded half-rounded window. Next, an old iron light fixture is attached to the bottom front of the window and painted white to match the trellis.

A fun lamp is created out of bookshelf parts and electrical components. The bookshelf pieces are fitted together to form the base. An electrical kit is added to make it functional. It's topped off with a shade embellished with fringe trim.
