Refinished Candlestick Lamp
(a before and after) 

This week I have a couple projects going.  One will take a few weeks so expect that one by mid-April (so excited about that one!).  The other is a lamp.  It’s been plain for the last 15 years and it’s time for change!

With Chalkboard paint in hand I embarked on painting!  At the last minute I changed colors.  I wanted to experiment with the free green pint of paint I received from Valspar.

Too bad I was going for a more muted olive green.  

Definitely an experiment. All this to say, with the hope of chalkboard paint and/or a lighter fabric covered lampshade, this lamp has not seen the end of change in it’s life!

Thankful for my friend, who has a really great design blog (amandacarverdesigns.com), for pushing me with her go-to-itiveness to make such uncalculated risks!
