The love affair begins..

with spraypaint!!! This is my absolute first time use of the product. I found this lamp over the summer at a yard sale. The flowers are what caught my eye. The round base was brass that was dirty and in bad condition. A little sanding, washing and spraying---with Rustoleum hammered bronze(see it in use again in the next post down)made it pretty again. The new bell shade added the final touch. It sits in my living room, along with some more of my "fake" family. Since the picture was taken I have added some real family pictures Leslie.

Wow!! Five comments. What an accomplishment. Keep it up folks...I'm eating it up. I love you too Julia, thanks for writing. The lamp is really pretty. Beth, I can see what you're saying about that 3rd pic. Sorry Chris, had to ditch the fake families although they were conversation starters. I'm going to have to rotate pictures of "real" family to accommodate all the kids and grands
