I decided after painting the end table to move the bedside table to the other side of the bed. Now I needed a new lamp. So off to PTO I went. There I found this.....
Not the best looking tarnished and blah brass lamp. But look at all the details......
So after my usual treatment....three coats of white paint we have this....

I went to Big Lots this morning and found this great lamp shade. It is chocolate brown damask. I don't have too much brown in the room but I think it works with the finish on the bed and a teal and brown pillow on the bed...
You can tell the paint is still tacky...I have a piece of cardboard under the lamp!
Here you can see the pattern on the lamp shade. The total cost for the project $16.00 plus some white paint. Not too bad. I probably could have found something at Home Goods for about the same price but, I like doing it myself.
You've done such a nice job on your lamp, and I like the contrast of the shade. What kind of paint do you think works best for spraying metal? Thanks for sharing your well done project. Cherry Kay
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful. I love the shape of the lamp and the shade is beautiful. Hugs, Marty
