Fifty Cent Lamps

I hope you will join me at

"Between Naps On The Porch"

for Metamorphosis Monday.

Well tonight you get to see a real blast from the

past!!!

Does anyone remember this lovely blue that

was the rage of the 80's?

Remember the decor from the Golden Girls?

These two old girls were found at a garage sale

more than a year ago. I have had a vision of a

tropical, beach bedroom and master bath for

quiet sometime, but always start another project

before I get to the master bedroom. I already have

two wonderful round white ottomans in my

bedroom and wanted to add more white to the room.

White in my bedroom just says rest and relaxation,

at least to me!

This was the weekend!!

So here is one of the old girls in all her blueness!!

Well for .50, what do I have to loose?

I sprayed the entire lamp with brushed metal

spray paint, then a light coat of white over that.

The lamps came with oval shades which were very

discolored and dingy looking, so I pulled out the

fabric stash and added a little pure white cotton

fabric to the shades. The fringe came from a

white valance I had, so I added that to the bottom.

A little shell hanging from a piece of rope and

I now have a little nautical going in the bedroom.

So join me tomorrow for Tabletop Tuesday

and I will show you the old girls all decked out.

Thanks for visiting!!!

Bye For Now,
