6. Porch Lamp
Estimated New Cost: $37.97*
Estimated DIY Cost: $10–$15*
Not even the fact that someone removed a lamp from inside their home and adhered it to the exterior—violating presumably every known electrical safety regulation—is the most bizarre aspect of this picture. It’s because the base of the lamp, as well as the entire lamp, is aglow with a blaze equivalent to a thousand suns.

Even if you choose a sophisticated lamp that doesn’t look anything like this, porch lamps aren’t that pricey. They cost about $40, and you can probably spend only twice as much as you would on a standard table tamp if you know how to hook it up without getting electrocuted.
