Spray Painted Lamp
Another great find at Goodwill. This cute little lamp was only $2.99. I needed a lamp for my guest room and knew this would be perfect. It just needed some work and a shade.
1. Get some spray paint. I really like RUST-OLEUM spray paint. (heritage red - satin finish). But, I'm sure any kind would be fine.
2. Cover all the places you don't want to get paint on. I used saren wrap and painters tape.
3. Spray in a well ventilated room. I prefer to use a drop cloth outside. This day it was raining, so I did it in my garage.
4. Allow to dry and enjoy!
5. Total cost = $22 , $3 for base, $4 for paint, and $15 for shade. I probably could have found a better deal for the shade, but I haven't had a lamp in my guest room for 2 years and I was ready to get it done.
