Projects, projects!

Anyone who knows me knows that if they dare step foot in my house, I am going to ask them their opinions on 15 billion projects that I am working on or dreaming about. Started a project today that I think will make a great improvement on the house.

Here's a hint: Can you guess?

Lamps Revamped

Isn't that an original and creative title? Wowza! I sure amaze myself.

Remember my spray painting project gone wrong? Well, I fixed it. It's not perfect, but it's good enough! I sanded some of the grit off and sprayed with another brand of paint. That paint worked much, much better. If I would of taken more time to sand, it probably would have looked even better.

I am super pleased with how these lamps turned out. They were such a bargain! The lamps were $5 each from the DI, new lamp harps on clearance for $3.48 each, the brand new lamp shades were a score from a yard sale for $1 each, $3 for spray primer, $3 for gritty spray paint, then $3 more for another try. Cheap, cheap, cheap and I think they look pretty good! Today, I added a dollars worth of ribbon to see how I like it. What do you think? With or without?

Spray painting - gone wrong

What lovely lamps. Just need a coat of spray paint to perk them up. Looks like this paint will do the trick. Exceptionally smooth, brilliant silver, metallic finish.


Or maybe I mis-read that it should be exceptionally gritty, spray painted glitter.



Sanding and trying something different...
