I love lamps!
I know I have said it a gazillion times, but it is true.
I REALLY do.
I REALLY do.
I like the lamp in my little girls room, but have wanted something a tad more dainty, feminine, and tall.
Current Lamp....
(A little small)
So you could imagine my delight when I found this ditty at the thrift store for $4.00.
(That's right....I did a little "$4 holla dance" right there at the store.
I know what you are thinking "Oh no you didn't!" But OH YES I DID!)

So I took this hunk of goldy yellow and glammed it up using these two paints.
I just mixed the two for a soft sweet pink.
I then applied a light coat...
And then sanded the edges.
I like the gold showing through.
It makes for a more antiqued feel.

Now it is ready to display!
I also found this old vintage pitcher and basin for $1.00.
Isn't it sweet?
And I made a few more modpodge books for my little girls room.

Now just one more accessory, and the end table looks perfect!
A perfect lamp and small end table change!
I am loving the tall lamp!

Nice job! I saw a similiar lamp at Goodwill yesterday. The only problem was someone else was carrying it and I wasn't in the mood to wrestle her for it.
