Goodwill Lamp

    Wine Crate Oct. 10 016

As I said earlier in the week, I have been having an extremely dry spell at the Goodwill!  I did find a wood crate last week that I posted about and added some number stencils to and I also brought home  this mini lamp that I was able to perk up.

It was nice and sturdy and just the right size.  It was a bronze color but in very good shape for $3.00.

I spray painted it black.  I like this Rust-oleum American Accents black spray paint the best.  I seem to only be able to find it at Hobby Lobby.

After a couple of coats of paint, and a new shade from Target for $9.99, I have a new small table lamp.  I really been in the reading mood lately so I place the new lamp right next to my favorite reading chair.  (It’s also my “watching a lot of college football on Saturdays” chair”.  :)

And if you didn’t catch it yesterday, I announced the winner of my Giveaway for the Monogrammed Lap Top Bag from Simply-Bags.  The winner was Sissie from Sissie’s Shabby Cottage.  Congratulations to Sissie and Thanks to all who entered!

That's one good looking lamp Lisa! (now anyways!) You are so lucky to get those gorgeous tomatoes I saw in an earlier post down below...my late tomatoes never got past green!

I really like how your lamp turned out. That's my favorite black paint too!
I also love your number table. Looks great with the lamp.

I actually like your Goodwill picks, how you repurpose those picks, and how you decorate - by and large. But, and I'll try to say this kindly, I don't understand the stenciling numbers and letters on every available surface. Since I really do like a great many of your ideas, and would probably feel quite at home in your home, I'll do my best to try and overcome my 'Meh' reaction to all the stenciling. . . if you'll try to overcome your 'zeal' for stenciling. ; )
