I saw that the CSI project for this week is spray paint. Since becoming a blog follower, I have discovered the joy to be found in a can. Yes, I'm talking about you, Krylon. The joy you distribute in a can marked Oil-Rubbed Bronze. Oh, how I love you.
I've had these two lamps packed away in a box for a few years now. They come from Grandma Bourne's house.
Doesn't it look like the Pixar lamp's Grandpa? I believe these are pig iron lamps but I could be wrong. Here's the other one.
I know a lot of you gals like the rusty look, and I enjoy it's appeal too. However, I have a long way to go before I'm ready to enjoy that look indoors. These two little beauties needs some Froufin' Up!
Hello Lover. How have you been?
Here's the final product.
I still need to rewire the taller lamp, but for now they'll join the blue frame on top of my piano.
Thanks, CSI for spurring me on.

I think I may love spray paint more than you, but Im glad you are now on the spray paint train with the rest of us! My Favorite color is Silver!
ReplyDeleteHi Suesan, thanks for the comment and also following my blog. As for the spray paint, I found Champion Sprayon's -Sterling Silver at AC Moore. Its a little pricey there but I recently found it at Dollar General for $3 a can. (which is better than $6 at AC MOORE) Its a spray enamel and goes on beautifully! I also tried basic silver spray paints too be GRAY. This you will love! Black can with Silver and Gold writting on it. Good Luck, Thanks again
