(After)
Lamp makeovers are so much fun. I found this lamp at Walmart. You couldn't beat the price, $12.95. I could easily pay more than that second hand shopping. I also picked up the red drum shade there as well.

My original plan was to spray the base Kelly Green. I may still do that but for summer, I like the white. It has an understated nautical feel.
It was nice but, a little boring. So, I picked up a spool of white grosgrain ribbon and hot glued a stripe around the top and around the bottom.
Then, to make it even better, I gave it a twin.
This lamp "makeover" cost $2 and took less than 5 minutes. You will probably see these again, when I decide to go for the green.
Here are a few fabulous lamp makeovers:
Aren't they great?
