Well, not new. Just updated.This old lamp has traveled many places. It has seen many things. It was my sisters for who knows how long and then I inherited it when I had my first apartment after college. I bought that lampshade when I first got married and I am really not sure why. I must have loved it then. And it has stayed with me because you always need a lamp. But it has begged for some updating. Some oomph. A lampy light face lift.
And here it is....
So fun, right? Don't you just heart spray paint? I love the paint color. Avocado. And the lampshade is from IKEA.
This lamp is still hanging in there with a fresh coat of paint and a new shade. I am full of complete glee when I shop my house and find new life for old things.
it looks A W E S O M E! :)
ReplyDeleteand fancy.. like me :) lol
Very cute! I love that green color too. I bought a similar dried flower lampshade after college, but handed it down to my cousin when she moved into her first house. Never thought about a makeover! I wonder if she'll give it back to me...I LOVE your new lampshade! Cute, cute, cute!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Looks like a brand new lamp! I feel inspired. Makes me want to shop the goodwill!
