Lamp Base Redo Debut

The one I really wanted, I missed. Stepped away at the wrong time. And it was way cool too, for a lamp.

So, this one came home with me. For a whole dollar.

You can see why it was only a buck. A closer (blurry) look.

This has been sitting since a February auction fix of mine (I know, I need therapy for too many auctions!), but it was too durn cold for spray paint me to be in the garage painting. Then it got shoved aside amid a myriad of other things.

I just checked my medical record book (view that post here), and discovered the reason why I am feeling so behind. Through April and May, I have been in and out from under the weather for a total of 4 weeks with whatever the latest and greatest has been zooming around.  I didn't get this sick when I worked in a "public" office space! Must be that nursery duty at church. The crawlers room had 7 kiddos last time, and every. single. one. of them had a snotty nose!

Anyway, I finally painted this oversized candlestick. First I considered an oil rubbed bronze look, but then opted for white.

Notice the new tan color going on in the wall in the garage? That's been an ongoing project too, which is finally seeing some progress. What's with this rainy weather anyway! :-)

Up close.

Now here's the question ....  should I age it a bit?

I am so happy to have something nice and fresh and white that I am not certain I want to age it... yet... maybe that will be for when I feel the need to change it up again...

Now for a shade! And a pop of color. Don't have that yet! But, I do believe this lamp will look oh so cute in TA's bedroom.
