Project #1: 1980's desk lamp

   
the lamp when retrieved from the rubble


step 1: cleaning and sanding (with a little help from a strong arm)




step 2: spray paint first coat 



brand and color of choice - Rust-Oleum "Key Lime" with a gloss finish


Step 3: (after 3 coats of paint dry) add a funky fabric to the bottom of the base!

 flower fabric is in its third phase of use.... first as a sheet and then as curtains at school
 black border strips are cut from an old t-shirt - tape used to make sure all are the same size 

Step 4: new light bulb and final touch ups!



Although I am fighting a strong urge to keep it, the lamp will be sold on Etsy for $30. Please feel free to email me with any questions!
