Sometimes I run across a gem of home improvement so amazing that not only do I wish I had the talent to create something similar, but I wish I could meet the person who thought up such a concept. The author of The Black Table has taken old blenders left behind by partying roommates and turned them into cool, sturdy lamps. By using:
- 10 feet of electrical cord with an attached plug on one end
- an electric tester
- an electric light socket
- a switch
- two wire caps
- needle nose pliers
- light bulbs
- wire strippers
- electrical tape
- and a blender
You, too, can take your old blender from old and funky to new and fun.
Everything you need to know is listed on the Black Table site and included are a set of detailed instructions and pictures to make the process that much easier. I am not quite brave enough to embark on this DIY adventure but it does look like it would be sassy and fun.

Use LEDs and wire different colors to the various buttons that are already on the console. Or you could frost the inside of the pitcher and use one of those moving style light bulbs to make the blender look like it was actually mixing something.
