$4 Lamp gone cutesy

I adopted this lamp from a local thrift store for $4. I got so excited to start ripping up the shade that I neglected to take a before picture of it...but

The covering of the shade was similar to this.


...and this was the base. Cute lines but kinda boring.


I already had the paint and fabric in my stash, so no extra money spent! 
The lamp now lives happily in my daughters room.


The dresser it is sitting on is a future project...please stand by


I love it. I'm sure my daughter loves it too, and if she could talk she would tell me so.

Share the Bliss

Hello internet world. Ever walk into a store and feel warm and fuzzy, have a sensation of being on cloud 9, or even have a heightened moment of euphoria? When I walk into a Thrift Store I feel some of that stuff. I don't believe it's weird but I could be completely wrong. I could even say certain items I might find in a Thrift store are similar to my children...in that...They may smell funny, but they are pure treasures.
I also love garage sales and craigslist and good ol' fashion Free. I'm not bias.
