I found each of these lamps for $5.00 at Deseret Industries here in Salt Lake. I instantly fell in love with the bumpy milky white glass base and top. I taped off the white glass with tape and grocery bags and got to spray painting. After first using a primer for the gold sections on the lamp, letting dry, and then used the colored spray paint. Again I used one of my favorite colors "Ivy Leaf" from Krylon. I antiqued the original gold parts of the lamp, over the green spray paint and sealed the paint with a spray sealant.
The roses were made out of beige burlap as well as some in white and green felt. The lamp shades were bought at Walmart on sale for $5 each.
After this project, the clouds parted, heavens opened, and I had the inspiration to paint my blah white bedroom walls...wait for it...GREEN! Ah!!
