I found this fantastic pair of lamps today while I was out and about. They came with real basic white shades that had no character. The shades were pretty hideous so I told the store owner they could have the shades and resell those with some other lamps. I loved the black distressed finish on the bases and knew they would make a great marriage once I found them some great shades. Nice heavy bases too!
I thought the acorn finial was a nice added touch.
These are the new lampshades that I purchased for the lamps. Don't you think they are going to look wonderful!
Thought this urn had a a beautiful rustic patina. Grabbed it before anyone else saw it.
I bought this candlestick for its shape and will paint it to look something like the following candlesticks. Can't you just see it? Which one is your favorite?
A
B
C
I think I prefer C (The above pictures are from Pottery Barn)
The sad part of the day was I broke an urn while faux painting it!! There are sometimes losses with great finds. Oh well, at least it doesn't happen every time. I will mourn the loss of this beauty!
