Before lamp : grey and grey shade , it just felt out of place to me.
My after lamp makeover , I sprayed it aqua blue and created a new lamp slipcover .
It looks like I bought new lamps , even my husband approves. Now I just need to do something about that chair it's the wrong colour the wrong pattern , I have toyed with having it slipcovered , or slipcovering it myself {I don't have confidence in that }I don't want it to look hand done , sometimes a new addition is just the way to , it has been at least three years since I have bought a new piece for the house , after all my kijiji second hand makeovers and finds I think a small purchase may be in order.

What a happy lamp makeover!
Love the fabric and paint update. Very pretty.
The lamp looks great! It really livens that corner up.
So glad you like the fabric. Its a nice weight, doesn't it? I've got a big stack of samples from Tonic and they are all pretty nice quality.
Love it -- but can't sew anything. Love the colors!
Love the lamp. I have been looking at an old lamp I have that just does not do anything for me and have been thinking about painting it aqua or turquoise. Not sure what to do about the lampshade because I do not have a sewing machine to create a new one. Your looks great! Thanks for the inspiration to finally do something about my lamp!

What a cutie pa-tootie lamp! Can't wait to see the new chair to accompany it. :D
Great fabric choice with the paint color. If it were for sale in a store, I would buy two. You have such a good eye for these things!
Looks great!
Boy, turquoise/aqua is THE color!
I just got the cutest little bench chair at an estate sale...and I'm going to paint it THAT color!
what a cute lamp! I love the fabric and the color, great job!
love those lamps. you've definitely inspired me to try to fix up my own lamp shades.
Was there a trick to covering the lamp shade?? I've done the shades where you 'stick' the fabric on but yours is finished so nicely! What's your secret????
