hosted by Susan at
Be sure to stop by Susan's and all
of today's participants for your treats,
before Halloween!!!!
First I would like to thank everyone
who visited and left comments on
the home tour, I appreciate each
and every one of them and loved
reading them.
I just have a couple little yard sale and
thrift store finds that have gone through
some changes in the last few week.
This little candle holder I got at a garage sale
a year or more ago. It was only .25 , was a
great size and had great lines, but the gold
wasn't working for me! So last week while
doing my tablescape I needed a large black
candle holder, so to storage I went!
The magic of black paint!!!
Now my next little projects inspiration came
from all those beautiful lamps I see out there
in blogland. Susan has one in her den and I
have seen several others while visiting other
blogs.
Have you ever seen these in the thrift stores
or garage sales? Well I have plenty of times,
now don't get me wrong I do love my kids
and grand kids, but I',m not interested in any
more nursery decorating, sooooo...........
I grabbed this little baby up for .75, and the
shade I already had as well as the yellow
material to cover the shade.
And here is what she looks like now!!!
paint to the lamp and rooster, and I think
I have a winner!

I just love spray paint!! It works wonders... The lamp is just too cute.
What a great idea! I love how it turned out, too. It would look great with the roosters in my breakfast nook! :)

I love the lamp!! I have seen others do that....yours came out so cute!! Wondering what kind of glue you used.
I like those Halloween dishes ( I enlarged the picture) and that black lamp was a good find.
But making that little rooster lamp was so clever of you do.
Great transformation. Next time I see a small lamp I will know what to do with it. Thanks for the idea.

I love the lamp! I would have certainly passed up the lamp and not seen the potential. YOu did a wonderful job making it into something I would put in MY home, and for thinking past the obvious to the purpose within!
Fantastic job!

Lovely job, That's a wonderful transformation on the lamp! Great Met post! Stop by for a visit soon!

Love black spray paint. So many uses right? Hope you will come by tomorrow and link up your entryway or porch for the posh porch party.
Those are great makeovers! I especially love the rooster - REALLY cute the way you remade the lamp! Linda
Oh...you are just too good! I love your creativity. Those candle stick holders I wanted to get rid of are going in the Halloween bin once I get done spray painting them.
The rooster on the old lamp is just lovely. I'll be back for more of your lovely ideas.

You DO have a winner there! I'm amazed that you looked at that lamp and had such vision! I know I would have walked right on past it. My days of buying for the nursery are over as well. You did a fantastic job! I just love that shade. I've always been drawn to gingham lamp shades.

I love the lamp! How very clever of you. You've inspired me and I intend to keep an eye out for just such a lamp. Thank you!
Sandy, the black paint really made that piece usable again. AND, what a perfect idea on the lamp redo. I'm currently obsessed with white so I adore it.
We should all get a kickback from the spraypaint companies for the amount of free press we give them! Love that lamp to pieces...looks great and the price was very right :o)
peace.
I love the lamp! These types of lamps can get expensive in the stores ~ I think it's great you made your own.
The lamp turned out great! Like the candleholders too!
