Something I've been wanting to do
for awhile now - a
thrift store lamp makeover.
...
I've been on the hunt for some old
lamps for quite awhile and
knew I'd find just
"the right ones" with time and
when I did happen to find
"the right ones"... I'd know it.
...
Well, last weekend, I knew it.
I had found them.
They were sitting amidst a bazillion of
mismatched, dusty old lamps, practically
calling out my name.
I answered and here's what I came up with
in just a few short hours this
past weekend.
...
I'm smitten.
(be sure to cover and tape up the parts you
don't want the spray paint to hit - plastic zip bags and
painter's tape work well)
(I was hesitant to try such a pastel color, but I wanted an aqua and you get less choice
when you opt for spray paint. I most definitely wanted spray paint for the smooth and easy coverage.)
(the color is definitely not pastel at all, so I'm quite pleased with the outcome. love.)
The best part is they remind me of the lamps my parents had
when I was little, shiny gold and all.
Now, I can appreciate the similar
shape, yet with an updated, repurposed look.
