Happy Tuesday everyone!
I'm slowly, but surely chipping away at the makeover of my powder room. In fact, all I have left to do is to frame and hang some artwork!
I know that lamp makeovers are everywhere, but it occurred to me that maybe you think that making over and updating a lamp means that you always have to paint or refinish the base somehow. Not true!
See this little lamp?
It's cute enough in its present state, but still very traditional looking. I'm on a mission is to get rid of some of the traditional.
By simply switching out the shade, adding some ribbon and getting rid of the Chinese medallion finial, the lamp has a new and updated look!
And if you really want to see something that will burn your eyes, take a look at the lamp that used to reside here.
Don't fret over the fact that you don't see anything to tie the navy and gold colors together.
It will all make sense in the end. :o)

Suzy, what a cute lamp makeover! And you're teasing with those bright, pretty colors! I'm excited to see what you're up to!
ReplyDeleteSuzy I love your lamp makeover. It really improved the look of the lamp. I really hate to say this, but I really love the little lamp in your bathroom. But I am all about traditional, no so much the modern look. Anyway, no matter my preference I can't wait to see how you do transform your lamp! I do love the lamp you just made over. The makeover made a major improvement.
ReplyDeleteGreat change. Love the fabric I see.
ReplyDeleteGreat move Suzy!!...Really updated the lamp...and I am really loving that fabric!!!...

Great lamp. Loving the fabric. Thank you for sharing. Visiting from My Uncommon Slice. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com/2012/09/make-it-pretty-monday-week-13.html Hope to see you at the bash! Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
ReplyDeleteGreat lamp makeover and I'm really loving the preview of fabric too.
ReplyDeleteI am really really really liking the direction you are going here and I am crazy for your colors. Love them. I am hoping to put together a series of post late in September featuring some of my favorite design/decorating blogs. Any chance you would be interested in sharing your completed powder room on beColorful that week? No pressure if it doesn't work for you. I'm a big girl and can handle a no but I like the idea of updating the traditional and I think a lot of other readers will too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this week on my Motivated Monday.

ReplyDeleteHey girl! I read your post last week, but I don't think I left a comment. So sorry!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you're updating your space! The new fabric is absolutely beautiful. And the transformation of that lamp is amazing. I would have thought it was a whole new lamp!
