Why buy matching stuff when you can TURN THE OLD INTO GOLD!

LOL! 

Not really old actually, i had these brand new lamps not even opened. But anyway i needed new lamps, not because i didnt like my old wall lamp babies, but because i wanted something new.

Say hello to this baby... who is about to get transformed.

Supplies needed:
A lamp
Golden spray paint
White multi surface gloss enamel
White acrylic paint
A net/lace
STEPS:
1.Spray paint the wooden areas.

2. Paint the glass area with gloss enamel. And the shades with white acrylic paint. 3 coats of paint on shades and 2 coats of enamel on glass.

4. Spray paint the inside of shades with golden spray paint.

The part of these lamps that literally made me jump out of joy was that the inner rim that sits under the bulb was adjustable. I rotated it and it totally changed the look of lamp.

This is how normal lamps are.

This is how i adjusted it...

5. Wrap the lace/net fabric around the lamp and spray paint it. You have no idea how many things i've done using this idea. Wait for the future posts and i bet you will start keeping a can of spray paint and lace material in your purse :p

And thats how my lamp shades are placed on top.

6. Add something decorative if desired. I used a faux crystal chain usually available with florists. Comes in a metre size. Its loops are what make it best to use. i wrapped it only at the bottom and hung the extras on it.

Ive build that stand specially for these lamps. I just dont like lamps sitting on nightstands.
