I'm becoming an addict. But c'mon tell me this lamp doesn't look better than it did before????

 

For some reason I totally forgot to take a real before picture of this floor lamp which I am sooo guilty of doing on several projects (I'm getting better). So I found this picture of the lamp from like 5 years ago. I purchased it from a store called Scallywags that went out of business like 8 years ago and I paid a pretty penny. Trust me on this.

 

Here's what the floor lamp looked like before...

 

 

Now here's the after:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kind of amazing, right? Doesn't even look like the same lamp, right?

 

I'm also going to divulge two (2) other trade secrets demonstrated in the above photo.

 

1. A touch of black in every room is a must. A black lampshade with gold lining makes a simple floor lamp look elegant and rich-looking.

 

2. Also, if you have light colored furniture like my blue and white wide-striped slipper chairs from Lee Industries... place a textured throw on them to keep sticky, grimy hands away from them! ha - so there you have it.

 

My plan is to purchase this lamp here to replace the other one...

Love it, right?----

 

But until I do ---this works don't ya think?

 

 

 Do you likey? yes, no? or

should I just bite the bullet and get the Arteriors lamp for that spot now?
