ORB to the Rescue!!

GIVE AWAY & ANYTHING GOES PARTY #12

I love ORB, for you new folks that stands for 'Oil Rubbed Bronze'.  It's really one of my favorite spray paints.  I just used in my new lamp.  LOVE the result.

I found the cutest lamp at Hobby Lobby, and they wanted $60, and that was 1/2 OFF!  I didn't buy it of course.  $40 is my lamp limit, and that has to include a shade.  I'm cheap.

Home Goods did not disappoint, but the lamp was the wrong color, but the right price.  I figured I'll  just paint it, I have a zillion cans of left over spray paint.  So that is  exactly what I did.  Now my $40 lamp looks just like the $60 one, and I save $20! 

Here is the lamp right after I bought it.  Not very exciting, the shape is great and so is the shade.  The color is just kinda okay, a little drab.

I used a plastic bag and some painters tape to prepare the lamp for painting.  I didn't do anything else, no sanding, nada.  I did spray it in the garage, with the door open.  It was 70 here today!

Three coats of ORB later, PERFECTION!  It really doesn't even look like the same lamp.

Now back in place, it makes a statement.  No more drab.  The sconce got a candle this weekend too.

Close up of it's glory!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my lamp! xx

WHERE I PARTY!!!
