Venetian Inspired ! Pole Lamp DIY



                                                  I Just Gotta Paint!!!
                                               
                                         Venetian Inspired Pole Lamp!





                                   Finding inspiration on Pinterest....



Knowing that  I needed a pole lamp to sit by my wing chair.......


 I set out to paint .............

I have an old Ikea pole lamp sitting in the furnace cellar.........
                 

Does this lamp look familiar.............





So paint I did....first coat a flat black........










Then I added this turquoise blue







Wow that's bright!!

So I went about sanding....sanding and sanding........


added in more black.....








Took some antique gold craft paint...... 
added it to the balls on the pole........
let this dry.....

then added some more black....

Once it was dry I gave it a good
polishing with paste wax.....





Lampshade.......do I go out and buy new.....


No.......

Paint it!!

Added black craft paint.........





                                                       

                                                            Ta Da!!!





Here's the finished product!





Turned out just how I wanted it!


Love hearing from you!
