This was one of this unique pieces that has been in need of something for a while. I still feel that the shade would be beautiful in a caramel shade of brown, cork or burlap of sorts. But it is, what it is and we have this "simple" shade in white on it still... but at the price we are selling it for (see last picture below) you can afford to go get that extra special shade that fits your style and not ours :)
Who doesn't love a little grey and tan for that neutral, go-any-where kinda floor lamp? Beats that old boring metal look we see in every "big guy" shop in town... and I'm not talking the shop for "tall men"!!! You know, the ones where they are cookie cut in another country?
This lamp was hand made and carved by a neighbor of mine several years ago... it's value is much higher than we marked it, but we also want someone to buy and love it as we have for years :) Don't you love the swirl in the base middle? That's one piece of solid wood!!!
The funny thing about this lamp... I just wanted to take fab pictures to show it off. What do you think?
Do you have a lamp you have painted? Do you love it, do you hate it or are you indifferent?

ReplyDeleteI just redid a lamp the other day myself. It was one of those heinous brass numbers. I spray painted it turquoise and put some ribbon trim all around the lampshade, and voila - for $11, I have an awesome new lamp. Yours looks great too, and I can really see a burlap lampshade on there!
Great stuff, can't wait to see what's next. :)
