I got this lamp a few weeks ago, while out thrifting.
My urge was to paint it black like everything else I paint, but I fought that urge and used Rustoleum's Aqua.
This is in Han's bathroom as a nonfunctional, eye-candy only, lamp (there are no outlets near where I put it).

Just beautiful! You should know I love the blue and white! What a remarkable job!! Did you spray paint it? It's too cute for words!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the color! so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAqua was totally the right way to go! This lamp is illuminated with cuteness - no light bulb needed!
ReplyDeleteGreat color!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that! The color is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThat color is PERFECT, I love how this lamp turned out. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks also for the tip on the color, I tried a Robin's Egg Blue from Valspar and it was more like 80s teal!

Now that's a makeover if I've ever seen one... and a GREAT one at that!! Your final color is gorgeous!! I would have never thought that old gold lamp would ever look that good. Good job girl!
ReplyDeleteSuper color for that lamp. Looks very MCM. Jane F.
ReplyDeleteI.Love.Blue! Thanks for sharing! I see you commented on my Lamp redo too! Thanks for stopping over to Miss Matched & Marvelous!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I think you made the right decision by resisting the urge to go with black! Saw you at Metamorphosis Monday and I'm now your newest follower! I'd love it if you could stop by my blog if you get the chance.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! The color is refreshing!

Love that color! It gave that lamp a whole new personality.
ReplyDeleteI too struggle with painting everything the same color, but you gals painting all of these pretty blue projects are swaying me. I have never been a blue gal but I think I am a convert. My husband would LOL if I read this post to him because decorating with a lamp that can't function is something I would do.
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome!! And it gives me an idea...since I have two lamps right now that I'm finding very unattractive!

ReplyDeleteHOLY COW HOLY COW! Shortest DIY Day post ever, and one of the very BEST ever! I am ultra-impressed. LOVE the turquoise ... itching to do my own now. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe aqua came out so well! I love that color. I'm gearing up my bravery to use it. Does that sentence even make sense?? Have a great night!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I am starting to love the color blue. It's a recent development, but I think I'm a better person because of it. This is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking this up as well!
What a beautiful aqua color! I'm featuring your lamp at the POPP Spotlight tomorrow.
