Lamps reborn with Krylon

I know I got a great great deal on these babies @ $5 each how could you go wrong I know some people will say (and some on my friends did tell me) why change out the brass I just felt it was too heavy and weighed the room down visually and I wanted it to be lighter & brighter. Is that not what a  lamp should do??

Since there were two lamps I got to do a side by side before and after.  I don't know why but I was very excited about that lol 
Hope you are tooo

Here is how the lamp looked in my living room for the first two weeks, while I lived with them to see if they were an ok fit lol

  7. It's nice to be able to see the before and after side-by-side. Love the silver! I think it brightens up that tabletop - nice contrast, there. :)


    Stopping by from Trash-2-Treasure Tuesday. :)

  8. It looks great! although I kind of like the before better. It just depends on what style you're going for. One of my favorite blogs is Vintage Revivals and Mandi uses old brass a lot. I love her style.

  9. I love the after, so much brighter! I like to say if you can't fix it with duct tape or spray paint, ditch it. :-) Thanks so much for sharing on Tout It Tuesday! Hope to see you next week.

  10. Much better! Yeah there is just something about that gold tone that I don't care for either on many things. I think it came out great! Thanks for sharing at Cap Creations. Have a great week.
