Lamps Made From Wallpaper Rollers

At a yard sale last summer, I got these rollers that were used in a Sweden to roll the print onto wallpaper. I spray painted them Tropical Oasis from Valspar. Once they were dry I used a grinder on all of the raised pieces to let the gold show through. I spray painted some lamp bases gold, did a little wiring and I had myself some lamps . I got some plain lamp shades, taped out a chevron pattern and spray painted them the same gold as the bases. It took some time but I loved how they turned out, and that they had a story behind them!
