Dining Room Lamp Makeover

I've always loved the pineapple lamps in our dining room. They look a little like artichokes, except for the leaves on top.

I painted the lamps a few years ago, but I wasn't really thrilled with the finish.



Here's what the lamps looked like when I bought them. Both the lamp and the shade were gold.

After they were painted white(over black), I didn't like the shade because they didn't create enough contrast against the grey walls.

Here's how the lamps look now.

I painted them with Apple Barrel Pewter grey craft paint with a watered down Burnt Umber over the grey for a little depth. For the shades, I rolled on some white flat interior wall paint with a foam roller.

One of the best things about this project is that I didn't spend any money on this project as I used leftover paint I already had.

I Have to leave you with my Spring Countdown

Hope it's warmed up a little where you are!
