Drab to Fab!
Favorite Find or Fix-up
(tag for everyone!)
Great bedside lamps
I thought it'd be fun to share a favorite find or fix-up. Mine just happens to be both. I used to do a decent amount of thrift store shopping--still do when I think about it. The second I walked into Salvation Army I knew these huge old lamps were mine. They were $70 for the pair then I realized the 1/2 off tag--now that's more like it! I brought them home and put them on either side of my bed. I loved them but they were blah.
I livened them up with bright pink and green ribbon and painted the clear crystals lime. I'm still not sick of them after about three years. I do so love pink and green together.If you have something to share (and I KNOW you do!) post a comment so we can click and see. Try to do it by the stroke of midnight on Tuesday. Deadlines are your friend.
Let us sneak a peek!

Great idea! I have always loved those lamps, you did such a great job on them. I posted a couple of things on my blog. Fun idea.
love the lamps.. love what you added! I don't think I would get sick of them either!

I love those lamps, I'm waiting for you to tire of them, so I can put them in my house
I love the show and tell idea. I have lots of goodwill at my house! We could do a show and tell weekly:) Love the lamps. You will have to wait to see my show and tell until after work.
You have such a knack! I'd love to have the eye to spot something and then make it into something great. Unfortunately, I need to see something on display in perfect form. :) Show us what else you've done!
I LOVE this idea! I know I say LOVE way too much!
I have lots of things and no before/after pictures, so maybe I'll show my kitchen. It was drab, and I personally think it's fab.
I'll try and get pictures,and make it by the deadline...
Is that your room? It's cute! I love the moulding. So, how do you paint crystals? I have never seen it done before.
Thanks for sharing your cute room with us. I think you should show us more too! :)
Okay, I'm back and I took the challenge! Come see.
