Gold rush!

I'm currently in a gold and wood stage in my life!

I either want everything glamorous gold or rustic wood, my husband is probably happy for the masculinity that has suddenly come in to play!

I have a few lamps around the house that really needed some sprucing up! 


These lamps are in our entryway, something about them just didn't seem finished. They are pretty, and I love the shine, But I wanted glam!
Of course there isn't anything a little spray paint can't fix!

Rustoleum metallic in gold, changed the look!



With the help of some ribbon I found at Walmart


 I think this is definitely the effect I was looking for!!



While I was at it...I hooked this baby up too!

I couln't find any painters tape in the house! Electrical tape seemed to work just fine!


 A little spray...

And VOILA! 


 I'm smiling just looking at them!!


Happy Almost Turkey day!!

  12. Gorrrrgeous!! The pattern you made on the shade is fab! I love gold too :)
    I haven't braved spray paint yet, but I can't wait to try. Is it easy? I'm still trying to figure out where to do it since we're in an apartment.

  14. I usually prefer silver, but I think the gold looks really glam with the table and mirror. And I love the gold lamp shade! It looks amazing! Spray paint is the greatest!
