Ugly Lamp Makeover.

May 4, 2009 by Michelle Hinckley |

Remember this ugly lamp I bought at an estate sale?
Here it is before in all its gold glory.One spray paint can of white, one of black…

No more gold!

Not bad for a few bucks!

    I really think that spray paint might be my BFF. The lamp looks great! I like the frame too.

    How did your spray paint hold up on this (did it chip or wear off easily over time?). Thinking of buying a couple cheapo brass lamps at a thrift store but worried about long term durability of the paint! Would love your input.

    Love your thrifty ideas! Thanks, Carli

    dimpleprints-
    Paint has held up fabulously…no chipping, no signs of wear. Spray paint is much more durable than many water based paints. You’d be suprised. Happy painting!
