My in laws gave me this lamp when they were cleaning out their garage. I hardly ever turn down free and it had great lines so I gladly brought it home with me. I especially loved the gold base. I knew it was just a few coats of paint away from being pretty. It sat in my garage for a while until I came across this beautiful DIY lamp on Made by girl. It was just the inspiration I needed.
So, I started with this.
Then, I taped off the parts that were gold and primed and painted the rest white.
Then I just added some random black brush strokes and sealed it with a coat of Rustoleum clear gloss for a shiny finish. Super easy and done in a day. I like the punch of pattern that it adds and that it's not your typical solid color lamp.
OMG get out of my head! I'm planning on doing this to my lamp in my entry. I already bought the supplies! I love love it! The black and white is so graphic. Great job!
