Welcome Paint Lovers!
A few weeks ago I shared with all my facebook friends about the score I found at a garage sale. I got 2 of these rattan lamps for only $5!!! Score!
They appeared to have been spray painted black.
I wanted them to be a dark, espresso brown to fit in perfectly with my ongoing family room makeover.
I so grabbed some of my acrylic paint in espresso brown and just brushed it on the rattan portion of the lamp.
I gave them 1 coat to get the coverage I wanted. The areas that were really chipped I went over with a second coat. I wanted a little of the black to come through to keep it a dark espresso brown.
And I scored this cool rectangular shade at the same garage sale for $1! It was brand new, still in it’s plastic wrap.
So what have you been painting???

Yep…. I'm totally jealous over your lamps right now! Love them! Thanks for hosting 🙂
Thank you for hosting. The lamp looks great and now I'm off to discover other painted pretties.

Love the brown lamp, what a score on the rectangular lamp shade! I need to keep my eyes opened!
That is one gorgeous lamp, especially for the whopping price of $3.50 (for 1) and a little time! I've always loved wicker lamps and the one you finished is great. Did you do both of them the same?
Your lamps turned out beautiful! Thank you so much for hosting!
Your lamps were really great finds!Thanks for hosting!
