I picked up an ugly little lamp. It was painted blue, green, yellow and orange......ughhhhhh! In fact, it was so ugly that I didn't dare take a before photo of it.....would have scared y'all too death!
But, it had little cherubs on it and the shape was wonderful. So, out comes the heirloom white spray can.....

The shade is a Walmart number....can you believe it. It's the prettiest blue/gray color.....
Don't you love sweet little crowns completing a pretty vingette....
The little paper crown was created by Rosemary at Roses Petite Maison.
Okay, that's it.
Get out there this week and make it a good one. Create, sew, write, photograph, paint, cook, repurpose or find something wonderful and share it with us.
I'm joining the party at Coastal Charm's Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays!

Sissie~you look skinny in your photo!! Makes me want to get motivated to eat right~but I think I might wait a few more weeks!! Love the lamp~it is really a nice one, isn't it? You never know where you might find nice things like that shade~Walmart, Lowes...the dump!
Cute do over. I can't imagine that lamp being all those colors.
That lamp is beautiful, Sissie! I can't even imagine it all those colors. Part of me would have liked to see that, but part of me is glad you didn't show it as it really looks like it was meant to be Heirloom White. Love the shade, too. I was at Lowe's earlier today and I always forget what a great selection they have of lamps and shades ~ until they hit me as soon as I walk in! I need to make sure I get back there sometime soon; I saw a nice one for the master bedroom to take the place of a temporary lamp I had just inside the door.
Cute lamp Sissie! I can't imagine it every color of the rainbow... looks great white:@)

Sissie-Your lamp is very nice and I like the shade! Who makes Heirloom white spray paint? I bought a couple of things at an auction this weekend and don't want to spray them a stark white, and I think your heirloom might be just the ticket! Thanks for your help.
What a pretty lamp and makeover! I've seen some real pretty lamp shades in Walmart and that one was a perfect choice! Have a great week!
When i look at that lamp now, it's hard to believe it was ever ugly. It's gorgeous, and so ornate!
I put my fabulous pillow shams on my bed pillows today, and put some faded pink sheets on the bed, and you should see how incredible they look, i LOVE them! And, now i'm thinking, duh... why didn't i take a picture!

It's hard to imagine that it was every ugly! And that crown is delightful! ♥
Gorgeous! I know exactly the colors it was...kind of a 70's vibe! We love our heirloom white, the shade is gorgeous too!

The work you did on that lamp is superb! But, you naughty girl, why did you not take a before photo? I love to see the before photos.

Hi sissie! I think that is Gorgeous! Was it ceramic or metal? I just recently started painting lamps amazing transformations! Traci
What a sweet little lamp! I've been working on lamps myself this week. Just LOVE that pretty shade on yours.
I just love it when I find a new blog, that is just so wonderfully shabby that I had not discovered before. I love your lamp. I love your beautiful blog! I am a new follower here.
You have a great eye for the potential in the not so pretty. Your lamp turned out beautifully! Way to go.
Thanks for stopping by and your sweet comments.

Your lamp is beautiful, Sissie! It reminds me of a pair of lamps my Mom had for years that had cherubs on them. She saw them in a furniture store and fell in love with them. My Dad surprised her with them for Christmas! So, thank you for bringing back that happy memory!
Hugs, Cindy
Sissie, this lamp is so stunning, I don't think I believe that it was really ugly to begin with! And, a Walmart shade to boot--it looks like a million($), now.
Beautiful lamp re-do!! Isn't it amazing what a lil Heirloom White can do for things?!? Hmmm....how 'bout I come over and you can "spritz" me with a little of that good stuff?!?! LOL
Hope you have an extra special day today, my sweet Sissie!!
Hi, Sissie,
You are such a talented gal! I always marvel at your transformations! Happy Valentine's Day, sweet friend. Thank you so much for coming by for a visit at Bunny Cottage. Vicki
Just beautiful! and the shade is so pretty too!
I noticed the crown right away, Sissie. The little paper one is very cute.
Such a beautiful lamp, dearest Sissie, I love all the flowers and cherups-and your crowns are adorable. I try to collect crowns also, not that easy to find old ones, but then I am sometimes lucky with new wonderful ones.
Hugs and love,
Dorthe
