New Life for an Old Lamp

I am loving summer for all the time to work on projects that have been waiting to be completed!

My husband's boss sent me a lamp she no longer wanted.
(Thankyou, Tammi!)

I thought I'd try out the stucco/stencil on it that I'd done on my cupboard
using the Deco Art Texture Stucco.

Taping a stencil to a surface that wasn't flat
took a bit of tape,
but once the stucco was smeared on,
and the stencil pulled off,

the little smears or imperfections weren't worrisome.

After the stucco had dried for a day or so,

I mixed some Plaster of Paris into some white paint,

til I got the consistency I wanted,

and painted the lamp.

I was happy to find some vintage material at the Good Will store
and glue-gunned it to the lampshade.

The new colors in my bedroom are coming together.

I decided to paint the design on the lamp.

It is nice when a bright idea actually turns out the way I hoped.
