DIY Lamp Makeover
Transformation Tuesday! Here’s a fun and easy project I made to bring a pop of colors into our apartment. Those who know us can tell you we like anything colorful (and golden if you ask me)! We had this basic and boring lamp, two adjectives that we don’t like much at home 😉
I started by replacing the lampshade by a much larger one we also had at home, which gave a more imposing presence to the lamp. The new lampshade was in a boring light grey, but most importantly it had grey stains on it.
Next step, I put the “new” lampshade on a table that I protected with old newspapers, and grabbed my acrylic paint tubes (no need to mention I picked bright colors and my dear golden one) and large brushes. And now, this is where the fun begins! I applied the paint on the lampshade by large horizontal and vertical brush strokes, one color at a time (see pictures), making the different color slightly overlap. I ended by applying a few gold touches, and voilà!
A fun and easy project that pops up against our beige walls.
