$1 Lamp Transformed

I showed y'all this lamp already that I got for $1 at a yard sale a few weeks ago. I painted it black, added a shade I had, and it now sits on top of my pie safe in my dining room. I had a smaller lamp up there and this one looks much better. I love turning this on at night so I can see in my dining room from my kitchen. Have a great Monday everybody!

Beautiful!! Can you tell me exactly what kind of spray paint and color (black?) you used? Hubby just painted a hideous lamp black in an effort to make it look better. Now it's just a hideous black lamp! How did he mess that up?? :)

I love this, I seem to have such a hard time visualizing lamps made over. Everything else I can see the possibilities but I have a blind spot with lamps, and I need some new ones too! Maybe I can just get inspiration from your redo, it looks great!

That is to cute. I love it all. I have the same lamp but Mine is white and has a floral shade. From Homegoods...Love it. I just bought my bird lamp the nester has at the JCPenny outlet for $20 it was returned from the online store. Works fine I saved about $40. I will blog about it soon.
