Sure, Julia’s lamps wouldn’t win the Ugly Lamp Contest, but they weren’t going to win any beauty contests either. They look like butter churners … very fancy butter churners.

Who knew there was such hipness to be had!

So when I found these 7 brass lamps for $30, that’s a little over $4 a lamp, I was thrilled. (Click here to see another one of my painted lamp projects which was featured on Better After) […]
