Flea Market Flip - Lamp Makeover

While I am taking a break from painting the exterior of our house again, I thought I would show you what I did with those brass lamps that I bought at the flea market a few weeks ago.

Here are the lamps before.

Here they are now.

I knew when I bought them that I was going to spray paint them but wasn't sure what color.  A few weeks ago, I decided on orange.  Our house is very colorful so, I thought I'd incorporate a color that I rarely ever use.

I found this orange geometric fabric on fabric.com.  It is called P Kaufman indoor/outdoor fabric in Soho Sorbet.  It also comes in a blue color.

I bought 2 drum shades from Target and covered them with the fabric.  I don't have a tutorial because there is literally dozens of tutorials in blogland.  HGTV.com has a really good tutorial.

The spray paint I used is Rust-oleum American Accents Ultra Cover in Gloss Real Orange.

This is a little glimpse into the room that I am now working on which is our living room.  I painted the black and white stripe feature wall last year.  The carpet is hideous and will be removed here in a few weeks.  I am so excited about that.  I have been wanting to remove this carpet for 4 years.    

I am also working on a project in the hallway.  The wall next to the office door (the door with the chalkboard faux molding) is getting some much needed attention.

I better get back to painting outside.  I have lots of projects going on right now.  I just need more hours in the day to get them all done.
