Between Blue and Yellow: Another Lamp

If there's one thing I love, it's a thrift store lamp make over. I swear, I think there should be s new show where you have to find something at a thrift store and compete to see who can give it the best make over. I think a lot of us would be very good on that show.

I did a few other lamp face lifts here and here, but I think this one is my favorite. It was pretty easy, just spray painted the base a glossy black and replaced the shade with one from Target.

Just a sweet little ol' lampy waiting for some love. If this were lamp high school, I have a feeling she would be sitting alone at lunch.

Shazam! She exudes confidence now.

Now she must patiently wait until I can get my act together and finish this library.
