This is a little story about a little lamp. I bought this at our local thrift store. I actually have been wanting a lamp for my kitchen and so I was excited about finding this. But I have to confess that I walked past it three times and put it back once. Anyway, I gave into myself and bought it. I knew it could be wonderful.
Before
After
I did end up buying a new shade. After putting the shade on I thought it needed something else.
So I placed a bird graphic (The Graphics Fairy ) on the inside of the shade. When you have the lamp off you can't see it, but when it's turned on it really is beautiful. I really have enjoyed this lamp. My kids love it and if I can impress them, then I have it made.
I accidentally sprayed the cord a little. So I used some left-over burlap I had and made a cover for it.
The lamp is stunning! I love spray paint. The bird graphic on the shade is the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteCute little lamp-

I like your burlap cord cover.

Great transformation! Thanks so much for joining my party!
ReplyDeleteThat turned out beautiful, and I love how you concealed the cord. Somehow I always end up spraypainting a part of the cord, even if its fully covered.
