Happy Monday! We had a good weekend! How about you? I can hardly believe we are headed into March.....makes me giddy with excitement! I am SO looking forward to spring and seeing green grass and doing some gardening. I recently redid a lamp TWICE... My first attempt at updating this lamp was to spray the base black and update the lampshade. The original lamp was a combination of brass and a shade of maroon....which I don't have a picture to show you. Needless to say it was UGLY...and very outdated. The lampshade was pure GROSS. Here's the updated black lamp with a new lampshade.
However, I just wasn't sold on this look. I don't know if the shocking white lampshade was too much for the black base or what exactly it was....I just didn't like the look of it. So, I brushed a soft shade of pink on the base. I love the new look and I think the lampshade compliments nicely with the base. Here's the second updated edition.
Enjoy your day.... Thanks for reading.
