Do you have things stashed in a closet, or in your garage and attic,
taking up space and collecting dust?
Then one day, inspiration strikes!!
You're able to use/reuse one of those items and give it a new life?

This post is about just that sort of thing happening!
I've had this old lamp for years.
I think it's been in just about every room in my house at some point.
I'm in the middle of a big purge and was getting ready to throw it out
when I got an idea for it.
I pulled out my trusty gold spray paint, (amazon affiliate link) and gave the lamp base a few light coats.
Can we talk for a sec about this spray paint? It is my favorite gold of all time!!
It goes on so nice and is the only kind I will buy!
I love the way the base turned out!
I needed an equally awesome lamp shade and the old, ratty tan one just would not do!
So I ripped off all of that tan fabric and hot glued a piece of lace all the way around the lamp shade frame. I put glue on each individual bar to hold the lace nice and securely.
A tired and dated lamp that was on it's way to the thrift store
is now a sassy gold lamp for my daughters room!
So give your items a second look and think if you can refashion them into something else.
