You saw the room yesterday and the yellow table lamp.
In its earlier life it used to be a sad looking brass lamp base longing for a home at our local Salvation Army. I loved the curvy lines and for $5.99 it was an awesome deal.
A can of Krylon Yellow and Rustoleum primer that I already had was all it took to give it a new lease of life.
To convert it to a lamp, I got a lamp harp from Home Depot, a brushed nickel lamp finial from Lowes, and an off white drum shade from Home Goods. It took quite a few trips to and from Home Depot to get the right size harp. I think I used an 8.5″one maybe?
And then….
Once I spray painted the finial in yellow she was all set.
Don’t you just love those curves?

Genius! I want to do this now too 🙂

Thank you. You must. It was pretty simple. The only tough part was finding the right shade. None of the stores had the right one. Had to patiently wait for Home Goods to restock for almost 7 months!
