Childhood lamp

So these babies have been in my parent's house for as long as i can remember. I wanna say they got them from my Grammie's house. But i have yet to confirm the fact. What you need to know is i've been obsessed with crystal lamps ever since, and i have these lamps to blame. If you haven't noticed though, crystal lamps cost a TON. And I'm not willing to pay what they want for them.


Then my dad mailed me the set. Ahhhh....

Before:



After:

$17 lamp shade, spray paint, a $4 finial and TA-DA! $21 and i have a crystal lamp. Way better than paying $90... Yeah!

Ok, I'm so impressed! I would not have thought you could do the spray paint and make it look that good. That just makes them that much more awesome that it cost you so little to do.
