*LAMP REVAMP*

ONE THING I INHERITED FROM MY GRANDPA WAS AN OLD LAMP.  I WAS LUCKY, THE ONE I GOT WORKED.  MY SISTER'S DIDN'T.
IT HAD DREADFUL TEXTURE BUMPS & WAS PRETTY TACKY OVERALL.  SO I FLICKED OFF THE BUMPS WITH A RAZOR BLADE & SPRAY PAINTED THE BASE WITH A CAN OF CREAM COLOR TEXTURED SPRAY PAINT!

I TRIED SPRAY PAINTING THE SHADE, BUT THEN IT LOOKED HORRIBLE WHEN LIT UP!  SO I COVERED IT WITH BURLAP, THEN SEWED ON LACE TO COVER THE EDGES!

WAA-LAA!




THIS WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO REFRESH A LAMP, & I WAS PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME.  IT'S STILL GRANDPA'S LAMP, & NOW I LIKE IT!
