It was just earlier today that I wrote about some great lamps made from old fire extinguishers that I'd seen a pic of earlier. Now I've seen more great lamps that make really great examples of reusing something else to create a great looking lamp.

While the other lamps were made from empty fire extinguishers these lamps are made from old washing machine drums! The drums like become the lamp shades and then they're decorated with other material and the end result is just superb in my opinion!

Just look at all of the different varieties and options and all of the many many different possibilities! I especially like the one that uses the fake turf grass material because it has a natural look but at the same time it also looks artificial. It's a blending of the real and fake and the end result in my opinion is one great looking lamp!

Another one of the designs that I really like is the one with the yellow measuring tape wrapped around it. From a distance I think it'd just look like a normal yellow lamp shade but when you get close you'd see the markings on the measuring tape and it'd become obvious that it was in fact a very unique lamp shade that looks really amazing!

I'm always impressed with lamps and lamps that are made out of reused items like washing machine drums and measuring tape and fake grass and even corks can really make my day!
