I love Lamp.

My dad Had a lamp that he'd had for a LONG time and was going to throw it away. Since my hubby and I are HGTV addicts I asked him for the lamp. Then it was makeover time... First I sanded the lamp down. This is what it looked like:

I got some Martha Stewart pearl paint from Michael's for less than $2 and painted it....and painted it again...and got a bit worried when painting it again. After 4-5 coats...it looked awesome! It looks like a pearl turquoise color that was perfect for our living room. I lucked out and found a clean white lamp shade at Target on sale for $4. This is the finished project !
