Lamp light

I discovered a brand new wall sconce lamp in a box in the basement recently, a very nice but very heavy Restoration Hardware piece with a swing arm. I purchased it many years ago with the intent of putting it in the TV room. I decided against it, maybe because it was too big, and never returned it. I had the brainstorm that it would be perfect above the twin bed in the craft room as a great reading light. I love to spend quiet afternoons up there with a good book (and sometimes a nap!) The problem was how to mount it? I felt the thing was way too heavy for the sheetrock wall behind the headboard. Then I envisioned a wooden construction that would hold the lamp so I wouldn't need to harm the wall. 

Here was my initial inspiration drawing:

As you can see I'd add some trim around the top to give it more "za za zoo" and to ensure it worked with the headboard that had the same slatted wood look. The board on the bottom was solely for support, you wouldn't see it. 

The whole thing was easy enough to put together. I cut the trim with my miter box and glued and clamped it together. 

Metal brackets added to the bottom board secured it in place. With some dark stain to match the headboard the piece really came out nicely. Here are two pics with the light off...and on. I love it.
