Spray Paint An Old Brass Lamp, step by step

Laura’s lamp makeover truly lights our fire. It is remarkable what a little spray paint can do. Here is her letter:

I hoped to share this swift Hands-on project I completed last Friday after getting out of work early. I simply picked up a lamp at the local Salvation Army up in Alexandria, VA, and stopped over at the Home Depot for some spray paint and polyurethane. The project did not take that long and I used “Rust-oleum” Painter’s Touch in satin Aqua, with a clear gloss coat. I also hoped to say how much I enjoy your journal! You are quite talented people and I am so glad to hear that you are only a few hours south of me- yay for “locals”! -Laura

Is not Laura’s lighting makeover proof that style can come at any price? And we enjoy that she took matters into her own hands and snagged something secondhand. Pleasant recycling job there Laura! You can read more about the process right here on her journal. And certainly tell her how much you enjoy it right here. Yay for “locals” and spray paint.
