lamp revamp

I'm a total failure and completely forgot to take a "before" picture...and I forgot to take any "mid project" pictures as well. So you'll just have to believe me when I say it didn't look this way before...it was yucky bronze and rather unattractive until I added a new coat of paint and a new lamp shade!

Here's the finished project!


Thrift store lamp - $3.25
Paint - $6
Lamp shade - $14
Total cost - $23.25

Not bad for such an attractive lamp, don't you think?

  1. How cute!!! Did you use Krylon spray paint?

  2. Rustoleum, actually! The Home Depot by me had a much better selection of colors in the Rustoleum brand, so that's all I've used. But Krylon would probably work fine too!
