posted: 11:21 am on March 19thRe: and now it's time for...a round of "can this lamp be saved?"
I love old lamps too, because you can remake them any way you want. You can also sponge the spindle different shades of mint green and then rub over with a watered down metallic gray for an aged patina look or spray the spindle with a metallic paint for an updated industrial look. You might have to change the shade but whatever makes it look good to you! Melody

Thank you so much, thats a nice compliment. I'm hoping my work sells too! I'm doing my first art and craft show this December. Its a little scary but I'm just putting my self out their slowly. Look out for more upcoming recycled projects this week. Everyone on this site has great projects and it gives you such artistic inspiration.

Thank you! I love the positive comments. I have a backup of projects to post since my job kept me busy this summer. Stay tuned I'm posting them later this week!

I love your craft room, it is so inspiring. I've been sneaking peeks at this tool chest since you put it on so I'm finally gonna tell you-I think this piece really ROCKS! Keep up the cool work.
