This Week's Renew

2:00 AM Unknown 0 Comments

I recently had a pair of lamps given to me by my mother.

They were a lovely shade of brass just like these ones below from the Frugal Homemaker.

The right kind of brass can be beautiful,

but these were not it.

They were in desperate

need of a makeover.

I truly believe anything can be transformed with paint and here is my proof.

These lamps were sprayed with flat

white spray paint.

After I allowed them to dry I wiped them with some old stain I had lying around.

I layered the stain until I achieved

my desired finish.

Wiping some on, then taking a little off.

When I got it the way I wanted it.

I allowed it to dry for 24 hours or until not tacky to touch.

The end result looks like a brand new lamp.

I may never pass up a Goodwill lamp again.
