Another post about lamps
Monday I confessed to you my obsession with pairs. Especially lamps. While this is basically actual 99% of the time I have to say that once in a while I stray. I assume thats a good element because, afterall, policies are supposed to be broken!
Today, I'd like to share with you a lamp assignment (sure, just one lamp) concerning two of my all time preferred matters-the salvation army shop and the spray paint deal with thingy. They will remodel your life, I suggest room. The complete venture fee me $1.Ninety nine.
BEFORE/AFTER
I purchased this heinous, however in running condition, fake brass lamp from the Salvation Army shop for $1.99 (tax unfastened) which blanketed this tan linen color. I eyed it from across the room and thought to myself what a top notch transformation it may make with alittle glossy white paint. Spray paint of route.
I used white semi-gloss paint by way of Rustoleum. I like the sheen of gloss over flat paint and the high gloss might have proven any imperfections inside the application. You can use some thing you want. Just make certain you to shop for the thingy. Also, notice that this will says 2x the coverage. This is not only a advertising ploy. This can had already been used on two different tasks so, again, I considered the paint loose.
I can't recover from this lamp's fantastic curves! It seems to glow like a candle when it's grew to become on. Oooh, that sounded weird, sorry. It's already located a domestic sitting at the desk in our den. If you are absolutely smart you can have observed the white paneling and blue walls in the background.
More on that replace later.
A few extra pictures of the transformation!
It's crucial to spray paint outside. I've most effective not noted this rule once and it become this kind of pain. I blanketed my driveway with flat bins to catch the overspray but a drop fabric could have worked higher. It's really correct to try this within the sparkling air in any other case your infants is probably born bare. And we don't want that.
This is the spray paint take care of thingy. It removes the mess and finger cramping that spray painting reasons. It's certainly reasonably-priced, maybe $2.50ish at Lowe's or HomeDepot, and, excellent of all, resusable. You just slide it on to the paint can until it clicks after which slide it backtrack whilst you're completed. I bought this one after seven or eight projects ago so I'm now not considering the value while tallying up the cost of a brand new undertaking.
