Printed a pink Smiling Owl (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1320992) for my wife that looked like it would make a good night light. So, I took this cool Trunk Planter for a cactus (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:292837), modified it to fit an LED lamp from Ikea (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50302670/), and further modified it to tightly hold on to the Smiling Owl. Voila! Pink reading light. It's much too bright for a night light. A lower wattage LED, or variable brightness LED, would make it better for a night light. Still, looks great and my wife is happy. I also painted the stump to highlight some details.

How I Designed This
