I just finished working on my latest project – a brass lamp from Goodwill with a pretty shape, but it needed a lady’s touch.
This post is a bit of a tease, because I’m not going to give you any information about the process. I painted this lamp to use as an example for my Workshop Series post this week, Decorative Painting 101 – Finding Inspiration.
So, here’s a before and after sneak for you. Come back on Wednesday for more!
I’m posting this to DIY Day at ASPTL and Show & Tell over at Blue Cricket Design.

This is so gorgeous! I wonder if Goodwill is still open this late…I need to go lamp shopping now 🙂
I love the lamp and your decorative painting is fabulous!
Wow! Very pretty, I love the colors you choose and the little basket detail in the center with the flowers. I also love the photo you have beside it of the little girl with her dog, so sweet.

What a treasure you found! It looks lovely. I will be watching for more posts soon. Thanks for sharing.
You did a beautiful job. I'm curious how you painted the brass, I have some brass finials I need to paint.
Very elegant! Can't wait until you tell us how you did it.

Very, very strange…I redid a Goodwill lamp that had a different shape but was the same color of brass and the shade was identical…sweet painting job – I can't do that!!
