It’s just so easy! Another thrift store lamp makeover

Special Thanks to Cassity from Remodelaholic for featuring my Tuscan Front Door makeover today!

I’ll admit it, I think I have a problem.  Every time I walk into a thrift store I see a million lamps that I want to take home and fix up.  I should open my own lamp store at the rate I am going.  I plan to give some of my fixed up lamps to my brother since he just bought a house.  (I’m using that excuse so that it doesn’t look like I’m a hoarder.)

Anyway, I just want to show you how SIMPLE it is to turn an ugly lamp into a beauty. Tip number 1:  NEVER judge a lamp by it’s color, just it’s shape.  Here are two beauties I picked up.

                                 FOR 4.00 EACH. 

I also picked up these shades (they were pretty smudgy) for $2.00

                                                           YEP THAT IS $1.00 a piece!

All I did was take a metal primer and a fun textured paint , here is the simple process.

I even loved the lamps white! (that was the metal primer)

The lamp shades I spray painted a gold color.  It worked better than I could have hoped for.  It covered all the dirty smudges and went from a fairly stark linen white to a nice taupe.  (Love it when things go my way!)

Isn’t this finish pretty?  I spray painted them my moonlight copper and once they dried I  lightly dry brushed a gold paint over the lamp. 

Here it is in my house

Now who wants to run out to the thrift store and get them some lamps!

                                                   Till next time!  Enjoy!
