What would you do to these?

These old tacky lamps--I love love love them, but don't know where to start. Any ideas??
I'd update them with a bronze spray paint and use them wherever your heart desires. They look like a conversation piece. If they are inside lights, I'd use them on a couch table or a long narrow table in the entry. Outside, on posts on either side of your entry steps.
These are really cool. If you want a complete transformation, my thought is to paint them with white or cream colored chalk paint (taping up the glass to protect it. Then sand some of the corners and edges to give them a distressed look.
I think they're interesting and attractive just as they are. If they were mine, I would just take off the bulb housing on top and put them on my deck or porch.
Hi, Clean them up with a good rust remover and repaint them in a rustoleum Gold or Bronze color and change out the bulbs with a different color for accent
Add two pillars (brick, wood or what matches your home style) at the end of your driveway and add them to the top for a focal point as you drive up or bye. Also add them on a large pole as a light pole in front and back💡
