Lamps Redux Deux

lolakimono — Sat, 04 Sep 2021 21:29:43 GMT

I got this free pair of frosted glass lamps with a floral/vine motif from my Buy Nothing group.

I have some ideas in mind.

What would you do with them?

@lolakimono I would replace those shades immediately!

@lolakimono

Can’t wait to see what you create!

I don’t have your imagination, can’t even guess!

Well, since I'm not good at re-imagining, I wouldn't have gotten them in the first place . However, seeing what miracles you create, I'm sure you will come up with something. Let us know

They need new shades for sure. I would spray paint the bases. Maybe solid black or a metallic, or even a crackle finish.

@lolakimono I'm not sure if you're thinking of repurposing them or painting them but I have seen some pictures of people using that Krylon paint and having that mercury look. That would modernize them.

@lolakimono Here's another modern mercury look.

@lolakimono I don't want to hijack this thread. Could you start a new thread and tell us how the school year is going? How did your students respond to the classroom? How many other teachers were you able to help? Etc, etc.

Not a hijack at all! In fact, the lamps are going in the classroom, so...

School started for teachers, but not for students. I have seen about 10 students in the room between orientation (for "new" `10th graders, who never saw the building and for the new 9th graders). We had our back to school events (one in the a.m. and another in the p.m.) but it was during Ida, so we only got in the first event and then had to close the school. Only the 9th graders report on Wednesday and the rest will come back on Thursday.

One parent did comment that mine was the only classroom that was decorated, and I mentioned probably because we were in meetings the entire time for teacher "work" days. If I hadn't come for four days before I had to report as a DC, it would not look like it does now.

I would spray paint them shiny black and add a white drum shade to them. Might be nice for nightstand lamps.

@lolakimono I'm on Safari and can't see the picture. I get a blue square with a question mark. I checked Firefox and can't see it there either. I usually have no problems with seeing your pictures.

@NickNack

I updated the post.

Can you see it now?

Re: Lamps Redux Deux

NickNack — Mon, 06 Sep 2021 20:39:22 GMT

@lolakimono Yes, thank you! I can see it now, although I'm not able to make a connection with it and the lamps. I'm not very creative.

@lolakimono It depends on your decor and how you want to update them. Have fun and then show us the "After".

@lolakimono : Blending everything with the cute stool and everything else in your classroom? Love everything that you are creating.❤️

Your going to give them a southwest vibe?

With the cost of lamps and shades you find is like hitting the jackpot!

When you are done with them post a pic!
