Trash to Treasure......In the Making



I am so excited to show you my newest "home decor laboratory" specimen.....please welcome Miss. New Glass Lamp.


She is sleek, clean, and in great shape, but a little bland and boring in her current state of being.



....But do you see what I see? Can you see it? A diamond in the rough?




Nice large base, with NO chips! NONE! Zip, zilch! Nada! (which is rare for a glass lamp at a thrift store)







To you she may look like an ordinary glass lamp, but to me, this is what I see:





(L to R: Pottery  Barn, CMCdesignstudio.com, Grandin Road)

So with the help of my handy dandy can of Looking Glass spray paint,

Looking Glass Aerosol Spray Paint 6 Ounces

I hope to give her a new lease on life so she can let her light shine!




......So what do you think? Do you think she's got what it takes???

    It looks like it will be awesome! Pottery barn or Crate and Barrel had clear glass lamps that they filled with stuff like sea shells or lemons or something! I love to paint things and make them totally different!

    Thanks everyone! There are so many things I can do with it since it is clear glass but I am really excited about the idea of making it into faux mercury glass. Cross your fingers for me! :)

    I think she is going to be one dandy looking lamp base by the time you've finished. Great find.
