Hey guys, I'm back...
All is well and it's great to be back! So let's get to my latest project shall we? I revamped a lamp over the week-end and am LOVING the results. Here's the Before...
Now I actually love the color of this turquoise lamp! However we've added a new rug to our family room in a soft blue/gray. And this bright turquoise was not working. So I lightened it up with Valspar's Color Radiance in the color Mellow Spring.
Before I started spray painting, I taped off the areas I didn't want painted such as the base, cord and lamp hardware. Then I wiped the lamp clean with a soft, lint free cloth.
And here's the lamp After...
I love the new soft color and how the cool green/gray tone balances with our warm beige walls. Incidentally this table holds the cable box to our flat screen TV, and those stacked magazines are hiding the cable cords. So I don't want to draw a lot of attention to this area, but still want it to look nice.
One final tip when spray painting, I always buy spray paint that's both a paint and primer. And using high gloss paint will add a little extra glam to any space.

love the new color Jane!
