DIY #4 - Lamp Update

A week or so ago, I bought a plain candlestick lamp with plain
white shade at a friends indoor yardsale for $5.  Even though
I've been meaning to since I got it,I forgot to take a "before"
picture before I broke out the paint today.
It looked a lot like this though.------------------------------>

I tried to decide what color to paint this lamp - I'd seen several pictures online of painted lamps and fell in love - and finally went with silver, knowing it could paint it again in the future if the color gets old or begins to clash with the room.  So I headed out for some spray paint and ended up picking up some blue ribbon for the shade.

 Here is a picture of the lamp after a few layers of paint.













And below are two pictures of the lamp with the ribboned-out lamp shade.

Total cost:  $15      ($5 for lamp, $4 for paint, $3 for ribbon, $3 for light bulb.)

I'm planning to use this lamp in my "new" bedroom (see last post).
Look for it in the next bedroom update! :)
