Lace, Ric-Rac, & Spray Paint

Another great lamp!

After my little "lamp revamp" last week, I have been adding a little more charm to a few other lamps around my house.

Today this darling milk glass lamp got a shiny coat of Krylon's "celery" spray paint to all metal surfaces, and a little frill was added to the lampshade. I used a glue gun to apply a little lace and a piece of soft pink ric-rac.

Seriously, so simple and yet such a big difference!

    Love this milk glass lamp. But your sweet touches to the shade make it perfect. Delightfully shabby chic! Happy Friday Hugs!

    Good morning and thank you for sharing your makeover. I have two of these lamps that belonged to my parents and I was unsure if I wanted to keep them but after seeing your makeover I am definately keeping them and giving them a facelift as you did. Have a great weekend!

    Just that little touch of celery paint on the metal completely changed the look of that lamp! ....even more than the shade. I think you are brilliant to think about doing that. The pale green really makes the eye look at the beautiful milk glass! I hope you will pop over to visit me as I am new to blogging. I featured a lamp this week also. Thanks for the idea!

    Oh Wow -- love your lamp. I think I had one like that as a kid -- now I'll have to ask my mom if she still has it somewhere!
