Scrap Wood Vase... Easy and FREE!

I am calling this a vase, but it's actually a sleeve! I wanted to keep the bottom open so that I could decorate easily with real flowers by putting them in a glass jar and covering it ...»
with the wood sleeve. This took me around an hour start to finish and I love it! If you don't have scrap wood laying around, the cost of wood is still under $8. You can see the full tutorial at http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2013/04/scrap-w...

  • Not bad lamps, just dated with the shiny brass.  SO ... cleaned it thoroughly.  No... I didn't sand or prime it. Too lazy. Just used some blue tape to tape off what I thought might get spray.  Umm... should have taped more of the cord.
  • Until I looked at this picture I never realized they were different... 15 years with them and never noticed.  2-3 light coats of Bronze spray paint. I would suggest either removing the cord, or taping and putting it in a baggie.
  • Just the other side.
  • I hate waiting for paint to dry.
  • I put the same shades back on and am SO pleased with myself and the look. $6 for spray paint instead of the hundreds of $ new ones cost!

I couldn't stand those shiny, dated brass lamps any longer!

We have had these shiny brass lamps since they were popular. New lamps certainly were a possibility, but the Scotch in me said.. hmmm... what would I like better? Well, unable to make ...»
that decision, I bought a can of dark bronze spray paint and just made ours better! And now I love them again!
