My design styles change with the wind, but I don't want to have to give up all of the great pieces that I've collected to date. So with our Master Bedroom renovation, I decided to repurpose some of my favorite lamps, into my new color palette.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Lamp
  • Spray Paint
  • Painters Tape

Steps (3 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Tape off all of the areas that you don't want painted with blue painters tape. I made sure and covered those areas really well. I didn't want any paint to sneak through in areas that I didn't want them - including down the cord.

  2. 2

    Spray paint away!! Remember to spray in nice, smooth coats so you have a beautiful finish with no runs. I ended up putting on three light coats on each lamp.

  3. 3

    Note: I would highly recommend only spray painting outside unless you have a spray booth. Because we're remodeling our second floor and it doesn't matter where the paint sprays, I spray painted inside.
