DIY Milk Paint Wood Lamp
It’s Thrift store makeover time and I’ve got a DIY Milk Paint Wood Lamp to share with you this month. I found a $1 wood lamp and some pretty milk paint I found on clearance for $1.75 and I knew it was meant to be. Friends this milk color is making me so happy, it’s looks like a gorgeous, sea foam green.
Milk Paint Wood Lamp
Let’s check out what I started with. It had great shape. It was in great condition. And on dollar day I was able to grab it for a buck!
Then last week I came across my new favorite paint color on clearance and I knew this paint had to meet my $1 lamp.
Here’s what I used.

One coat of milk paint wasn’t enough. I let it dry for 1 hour and then gave it a second coat.
After the second coat dried I used the sanding block to scuff it up a bit. I scuff up the edges and the areas that protrude to get the look I’m wanting.
I just love how it turned out! This is my new favorite paint color!!!

Absolutely love your (old) new lamp and shade!!! My sister lives on St Simons Island in Georgia, and had the entire interior of her newly built home painted in this same sea glass color. I will need to show her your lamp . She will definitely fawn over what you have done
I bet her home is gorgeous!
This makeover has turned out so well. Love the color of this lamp. Nice job!
Thank you Seren!
I’d love to vote for your lampshade but I can’t figure out how to do so on lamps.com. Please help!! And I like yours the best. I never would have thought of adding grommets and ribbon.
Pam the lampshade post was from a couple years ago, so the voting is over. Thanks for your willingness though 🙂
I lov, love, love that color. My bedroom walls are are a few shades more intense. Nice work!
I bet it’s gorgeous Angela!
Super job, the color is pretty.
