Revamped Lamps

I haven't done a project for a few weekends because I had company and I was feeling like a break from crafting was necessary. Plus I just didn't have any projects I was dying to do. Don't get me wrong I have a closet full of things that I should do but just don't have the urge yet.

However earlier this week I received a freecycle notice about two "beige and black" lamp shades. Knowing that when I get the king size bed the new comforter is white, beige, and black I figured these lamps shades would look cute and be a fun little change to my room. But when I went to pick them up they weren't beige. They were GOLD and black, the same gold as my curtain in the office. I was so thrilled!

So I headed to Goodwill found two old brass lamps ($5 each) and picked up a can of spray paint at Walmart ($3). Within a few hours and coats of paint I had perfect black lamps for my desk. I was able to move the cheap little floor lamp from the office. The lamps were the finishing touch the room needed (and I didn't even know)!
