Painted Lamp Shade

I was politely reminded today that I have not blogged in a while. It was just just the encouragement I needed to get back down to business!!!

I was lucky enough to have the day off today so I filled it with errands and small projects. One being painting lamp shades to match my decor. I purchased 2 lamps with with lamp shades off of facebook for just $40. I recently saw the lamp shades alone at target for $25 each. Which means I scored!!!

Here are the lamps without the shade


The clear did not work against my granted so I replaced the bases.

I really liked the design of the shades and actually the color, but the yellow just did not work in my room.

Sooooo....enter my favorite annie sloan paint in old white!!!


Here is the before and after!!






Isnt it great?!?!?

Here is the difference between 1 and 2 coats. It took about 45 mins for one shade.


I was super happy with this project. It actually turned out the way it looked in my head!!
