Working on the Boys Room - Three Horn Lamp

Our last and final project was to assemble this fun lamp Jeremy found online!

All I will say is that there were about a million pieces.  And the directions, though there were lots of pictures and I'm a visual person, had ZERO written instructions.  I spent half the time attempting to assemble and half the time un-assembling and re-doing per Jeremy's instructions.  I believe at one point there may have been a curse word or two that escaped my lips...along with frustration over him becoming an engineer and being smarter than me.  I wasn't feeling particular adult-like during this event!  
We did though...finally get it all together :)

Photos of instructions...and the mess of pieces!


You understand my frustration here??  UGH!

There were 3 main steps.  Step 1 complete...the Head

Step 2...the legs and tail

Step 3 assemble all together with mid-section.


The lamp in its final resting place :)  It gives a fun touch to the room and makes a wonderful reading lamp at bedtime!!
