Goodwill lamps DIY

I'm a bit of a DIY addict.

I think it's good though becuase it means

I don't pay full price for stuff.

Saving money is the name of the game.

Actually DIY'ing can sometimes be more

expensive than just buying new.

If that's the case I think you're doing it wrong ;)

This DIY project definitely saved me money.

I have been looking for some bed side table lamps

for about a month or so.

I've been stalking goodwills and thrift shops

hoping that a pair will pop out at me.

Last week I was in a goodwill and I 

stumbled upon these pretties.

They were in need of some serious TLC.

I know they don't match but I like their differences.

I also think they look very good together.

While at goodwill I also found a few trinkets

that I wanted to paint up and put next to the lamps.

I decided to spray paint the lamps gray.

They look brand new now that they've been painted all pretty!

Buying lamps from goodwill is great

but I'm a little grossed out when it comes to the shade.

I don't know why but buying a used shade just freaks me out.

So I stopped by target and bought white round shades.

The shades ended up costing the most but

I'm glad i decided to get new ones.

I'm so happy with how these lamps turned out!

The little elephant turned out SO cute!!!

 That vase ^^^ is beyond gorgeous!!

One of my favorite finds ever!!!

I'm so glad I gave these lamps new life.

They are just the perfect addition to my space!
