Thrift Store Lamp

I have been wanting to try my luck at refurbishing a Thrift Store Lamp for some time and found the perfect one at Goodwill a few weeks ago. 

 

 

It started out as a dark 70's brown, you know the color, the one that looked so good with Harvest Gold.

 

 

The first thing I did was to prime it.

 

 

Then came a couple of layers of spray paint.

 

 







I bought a Lamp Shade Kit @ Hobby Lobby and some coordinating fabric.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I put it all together and came up with a great looking lamp!

Thrift Store Dresser

 

 

I bought this dresser at a Thrift Store and was excited to see how the makeover would turn out.

 

I painted the entire surface with a good Primer.

 

 

 

I originally thought I wanted this to be Gray.

 

 

 

I then decided to go a little more bold and took a trip to the paint store.

 

 

I love how it turned out.

 

 

If you like this project, stick around!  There is more where this came from and I would love to have you as a follower.

Another Painted Side Table

I have several tables in my garage that I have picked up here and there and most are in need of some TLC. 

 

The first one I refinished turned out great, and you can read all about it here.

 

For this one, I stuck with my favorite color of Gray.  It looks great in my living room next to my favorite chair.

 

 

It started out brown and the first thing I did was to prime it.

 

 

 

Next I painted the whole thing.  The next step required taping off a section on the top and down the front.

 

 

I called these racing stripes.

 

 

I love how it turned out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have several more projects waiting in the garage.  I would love for you to follow Inspiration Overload and see how they turn out.  You can also follow me on Twitter for updates on what's going on, and I have lots more inspiration over at Pinterest.  You can always follow Inspiration Overload on facebook.  Lots of projects and lots of ways to stay connected.
