Ugly brass to stylish cracked metal finish lamps

Transformed some cheap brass lamps from the local thrift into a thing of beauty. I made the shades and did the finish myself using silver leafing.

    I love that silver! I was actually just thinking of doing something like that with an ugly brass lamp I saw. I think I might try it now, thanks!

    I had to laugh at your last comment. I have that happen to me when a particular project turns spectacular.
