Lamp makeover
We acquired this old bankers lamp several years ago and I have never liked how it looks, but I like the light it give me at my desk.
A few weeks ago I thought I’d see if I could make it look a little better, so I painted the brass base black!
Anyone know if you can paint glass?
The green glass is ugly, but it does look better with the black base.
*The Nester is having a little lamp party today. Head over there to see even more lamp transformations.

I like it both ways. If you can paint the glass, I would vote for aqua 🙂

We have an old lamp like that with a BLUE shade…I hate it. My husband keeps trying to sneak it out where it can be seen! 😉 I see a new paint job in it’s future!

I really like the lamp with the base black. Looks great and the glass is nice too. I love seeing all your “makeover” projects. They inspire me to get moving on stuff around MY house :o)

Love that you painted over the brass. There is so much you can do with a little spray paint. Looks great!
