Local Scores: Tea Party Lamp

This week's local score is this lamp I found at a local thrift shop. It was just under 4 bucks! It makes me want to have a tea party!

yes, these were taken in my car...such is the life of a commuter.

I think this one calls for a nice fresh coat of white spray paint...there's not much a crisp coat of white spray paint can't cure. Reminds me of this one-lump-or-two-lamp I have been drooling over at Anthro for the better part of a year now.

And for $194 less (plus the cost of spray paint)...can't beat that!

Here's some more creative lighting assembled with peices off the Madhatter's table:

For you super crafty people you can even make your own. Country Living has a good tutorial here. I think I'll just stick with my already assembled one for now... and post some pics once I have time to really get my hands on that baby!

Is crisp white the way to go? what do you think? any other suggestions?....

Happy Hump Day!
