My blogging friend, Amy at While Wearing Heels, had a post up the other day showing off her finds from Goodwill. Her posts always inspired me to head on over to Goodwill on my lunch hour at work. It's right across the street from my office so it is easy to go there. I found this brass lamp for six dollars. I was looking for a lamp for my coworker. She was hoping to find a lamp to avoid having the overhead lighting on all day. I convinced her to let me find one and redo it for her.
Thanks for stopping by!
P.S. if you are looking to help out the Hurricane Sandy victims please consider sending some socks, gloves or hats to the victims through the idea of Laura at The Shed. I am going to spend today's lunch hour heading over to the post office to mail some socks off to this great cause.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Tonia. :)
DeleteThat is an incredible transformation. Stunning and chic. Your friend is going to be stunned and amazed. Great job. Thanks for the shout out & for reminding us all there are ways we can help the people hit by Sandy.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of all you people that find such great things at the goodwill, or maybe I'm just blind and can't see what things could be! LOL It's a great transformation. Good job:)

What a great new lamp!! We did the same with some white ones and some blue ones, thanks for showing me how awesome silver can look too!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what some spray paint can do? The ribbon was the perfect finishing touch! Thanks so much for sharing on Tout It Tuesday! Hope to see you next week.

Don't you just love metallic spray paint?! You did a great job. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great transformation - I just love the lamp shade.

This looks fabulous! I am all about cheap-o finds that turn into treasures. Consider me another follower of your blog!
ReplyDeleteI love lamps from resale shops, especially if they are from the 60s or early 70s. My family makes fun of me. Oh well, I like them!
ReplyDeleteGreat transformation, Megan! Your friend must be happy to have such a stylist lamp!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful lamp now! Great transformation!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fresh modern update! I bet your friend is thrilled with her "new" lamp!
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful! I'm planning someday to try out spray paint, I see so many awesome before and afters. Do they have a oil-rubbed bronze color spray paint?
ReplyDeleteThis lamp looks so great!! I'm sure your coworker will love it! I'm so glad you linked up at Romance on a dime.
