Being Thrifty

Found this 60′s lamp at our local thrift store. It was marked $26.98. A good price for the average person but I ain’t average, I’m cheap.  I talked with the manager about reducing the price. I intended to offer her $15 but she said, “oh, that old thing. Would you give me $12.98?”  Yup, I’ve got a new best friend :)

Here’s the before and after. No big steps involved but I’ll tell you that after lightly sanding and putting on 6 coats of paint, I can reccommend using a primer first, duh!


Here she sits are purrty and white with a modest $35 price tag.
Forgot to mention that the lamp came with a really expensive lamp shade. I traded out a less expensive and more approriate one.

Thanks for letting me share!
Love yuns,
Tee
