The Story of the VINTAGE LAMP...

Well I finally fixed this lamp..passing it in the garage started to get to me. I purchased it for $15 at an estate sale one morning. I called my mom at her work and said "MOM do you have money?? there is an estate sale up the street and wendy said there is awesome vintage stuff. So she asked her boss if she could take a 20 min break and we were off. As we walked in..GASP!! Mom look at this huge lamp!!..you could so use this, and it is only $15!!!.."Oh ok I guess" she said. Knowing in the back of my mind she would buy it and end up not wanting it. (it is a family curse of ours)..anyway so they had some super cute stuff and I reolized I was super late to open the shop..so I left my mom there and called my dad to pick her up hahah. And of course she called me 2 hrs later.."You know I think that lamp is too big..you can have it" BINGO..so that is how I got this super cool HUGE lamp.

 Here is the lamp before I added the lace to the shade. The base was a gold color, so I found some pink spray paint and sprayed it. Super cute!!

Here is a closer picture of the base...

 Then I couldn't decide what color to put on the shade..humm

 Soo I went with the shabby pink..

 Glued on the first lace strip..walah!!

 Ok so I finished the layers and then I needed some pretty trim. I added white little loopy loops.

 Better picture for the trim being added on

 I was a little short on the top so I added some white small lace to fill in the game. The glued the trim down so they wouldn't pop up.

Wahhllaaaa there is my new HUGE lamp for my shop. It is much prettier in person. I only had my camera phone. lol
