I tried giving a lamp a makeover last night… it didn’t go well. The before was better than the after, and the before was pretty bad. Sigh.
Well, here’s a good lamp revamp. This one went from gold and grannie to black and chic thanks to Anna at All Things Creative. I love her blog, it’s full of some great before and afters, check it out!

September 24, 2009 at 5:30 PMHi there – I just love reading your blog!! I would love to go to lunch with you and just people watch so we could “make before and afer” comments of total strangers! We’d have a ball!
When I move into my new house, I swear (think Scarlett O’Hara here doin’ the whole God as my witness thing) I am going to do a project that you will feel is worthy enough to post on here! 😉
Oh – PS – I’d’ve gotten rid of the dog too!
