* brighter and better lights can make or break a room. which is why i put recessed lights into the living room... but there’s still something amazing about the ambiance that a table lamp brings. so i knew i wanted to give these ugly things a full makeover! washed, primed, joint compounded, wet sanded, painted and sealed with colored wax - and a new lamp shade from @homedepot and voila! an elegance that this light lost was brought back with gusto!!! what do you think? is this something you’d be willing to tackle or would you just go buy some new lights?! used @rustoleum primer and chalk paint, @dixiebellepaint black wax, @zibrapainting brushes and @homedepot lampshades 🤩
