Here's what I scored:
Inspired by Centsational Girl's creative blog posts, I decided to try my hand at spray-painting a lamp and giving it new life. So I scoured the shelves searching for an old lamp with "interest" like some curves or detail that would look better if improved on a little bit. I settled on a brassy gold lamp for $7. Plus, I even lucked out and found a tan linen shade in good-as-new condition for $6!
I didn't do any cleaning, sandpapering or dusting. I just sprayed down the thing and let it dry for about five minutes, then sprayed another thorough coat:
It turned out great! My first true "renovation" project. I love the textured look from the spray paint and this made-over lamp now resembles the $40 versions at local home decorating stores.
Amber: 1. Project Failure: 0.
