That was until, I got some great advice from Dayka @ Life + Stule: Meditations on Life and Style She suggested I go classic black with a white shade and some ribbon around it.... I was so gonna do it until yesturday, I found a match to that lamp at a yard sale for 1 dollar...mmhmmm! But it is in quite a fugly state, see...

I was so jazzed. So now these lamps are going to have a new home...On our bedside tables, in the master bedroom! Yeah...Then I went down to OSH this morning, to get some paint stripper...and I saw the prettiest paint in the world It is this opalescent glaze...it comes in a few different shades, like silver, gold, and opal. I was looking at some swatches and samples and found my color. Its called "Winter Sky" by Pratt & Lambert...
Then I'm going to do what Dayka suggested and hot glue some ribbon around the rim of the shade....Oh they are going to be too die for!
So here are their before...
So stay tuned for their Coming out party! Wont take long...since I'm working on the whole "Leave no project unfinished thing!" lol
