Updating Thrift Store Lamps

Share or Save!

Would you ever believe these lamps came from the thrift store?!

When I saw the classic base, I knew I could add a few items to really make them stand out! Here’s what I did:

  • added rub n buff to the metal base and neck for the perfect gold. I prefer the Antique Gold finish on items in my home.
  • added a beautiful new pleated lampshade. I love the micro leopard pattern in a beautiful green.
  • added a finial for a chinoiserie touch
  • added a lucite lamp base for a little extra lift and panache
