You have any great lamp ideas for the transformation?

[Oznell]

Oh, golly, I am honored to be consulted, @lolakimono ,  but knowing your highly individual, whimsical style, am hesitant with suggestions.   Went back and looked at suggestions on your lamp from others, and would probably have said something similar to @Kachina624 ,  or @Sooner .

Now that I see your "teaser" ribbon, am more intrigued than ever.  I think if you follow your own exuberant instincts, you'll have something great!  Please keep us posted.

@lolakimono   @Oznell   I've decide she's going to do a McDonald's theme; maybe French fry appliqué or such?  I based this on her hint.

@Kachina624 

What is McDonald's?

Sorry, I wish I did .. but, creative "I'm not."  I'm sure there are others here that will have ideas.  Thanks for the invite though.

@lolakimono   Shucks, I just KNEW that yellow ribbon indicated the Golden Arches.

I was thinking yellow and then I saw your hint.  How about a yellow and white lamp shade with a cute finial like the above and maybe paint the lamp a bright blue.  I have a lamp with a book finial like this only no owl and I love it.

@lolakimono   Saw this tonight and thought it was modern and looked to be an easy design to paint on a shade.

@lolakimono I'm afraid my suggestion is extremely boring.  I would either  paint the candlestick portion and the base an antique bronze color, and top them with a linen shade, or paint them an antique white shade and then rub a bronze paint into the creases and wipe off the excess. The latter I would top with a darker shade.

Sorry for being boring, but thanks for asking my opinion. 

These lamps give you an idea of the "rub" look.
