The pink lamps had their makeover! Yes, they were a sweet pink but they needed an update to fit into my decor.
The little 1940’s lamps that I found for $3.50 each…
Now have new style in deep blue! The paint colors used were Annie Sloan Aubusson Blue with a wash of Coco. I added gold accents and dry brushed again with the blue. They were sealed with Artisan Enhancements Clear Topcoat Sealer.
I purchased the shades from the World Market. At $12.99 each they were a great deal.
I like to add warmth to my decor at this time of year. Deep gold curtains add color and I also added a few new throw pillows and blanket. A few small changes make a big difference.
I added my first Christmas decoration onto the mantel. I purchased it at the World Market while shopping for my lamp shades. An appropriate message for today.
Dear Paris, my heart breaks.
So lovely. Your style is only matched by your abilty!
My heart is so saddened for the tradegy in Paris. I almost feel guilty thinking about what I am going to paint next! However, life if for the living and we must continue. Having said that, I enjoy and love following your blog! Lovely job on the lamps! Did you paint the shades also?
Oh the lamps are just beautiful, the whole room is beautiful.
and yes, I pray for the people in Paris, what a tragedy.
Hi Suzanne,
Have you ever tried Annie Sloan on laminate countertops? Would it stick? You do amazing things with paint! Keep up the great work!
I was so hoping you would keep the china cupboard you just finished. The whole room is lovely!! The blue lamps are just perfect!!!
Well done on the lamps! Very nice and lively room, too. I was also wondering about the shades – did you paint them?
I liked the lamps pink………………until I saw how you painted them blue!!
Beautiful, as always! Thanks for your inspiration.
The lamps are beautiful
The lamps look beautiful as does the whole of your living room 🙂 Like your ‘Peace’ sign with the lights – very sad isn’t it – sometimes I wonder what the world is coming to?
