I have been wanting to makeover my livingroom for sometime but with the all of the outside work going on this year (read barn demo and rebuild) it didn't seem that there was ever time. Now that the colder weather is settling in I thought that it would be the perfect time to get started. You see, when we moved into our farm I became pregnant with baby #5 within just 2 months of moving in, then the baby came and well before you know it almost 3 years have passed without me ever making my house look like my home. This is it though, only problem? This is going to have to be a tight budget overhaul... cue the creativity and various hours spent pouring over pinterest ideas for re-purposing items.
Step one...the lamps. I didn't have a single set of matching lamps in my home. I was dismayed at the prices of new lamps and frankly didn't find them very fun looking. Then I saw what I thought was a re-purpose worthy item...a set of table lamps on a local buy-sell-trade group. It was $10 for the set so I jumped and hoped that spray paint would work. I have to say that I am pretty pleased with the outcome!
Here they are...out of pocket total? $13.95. $10 for the lamps and $3.95 for the silver spray paint. Not bad for some trendy looking lighting.
