$5.00 Lamp redo

I found this brass, swing arm lamp at goodwill for 5.00..  I hesitated for a minute cause I figured it was one of those cheapo, very light, might tip over, floor lamps..  I walked over anyway and took hold of  it and wow, it was HEAVY. So I knew it was a more expensive piece originally . Great- I'll take it. 

I stopped my lowes and bought a can of orb spray paint- gotta love that stuff.
Lampshade from walmart was waiting for me in the storage room.  Got that a few weeks before for 8 or 10,
I forget now but way cheaper than ballards:)  I did a post letting ya'll know where they were and several of ya bought some.

 Cleaned the brass- spray painted it 2 light coats and let that dry .  I dont have a doubt this lamp as it is now would have cost between 100.00 and 150.00  ..  Mine- lamp-shade-paint ,,  $22.80
Sonny is a happy girl:)  Its just what I wanted and needed and at a bargain price too.  The daughter has tried several times to swipe it for her room but I go in there and swipe it back..   I wonder if I can find another for that price..  Maybe.

Heres the link to Susan's Meta Party

as you can see I marked my photo as she suggested in this weeks post.:)
Thank Ya'll for visiting.   Life is busy for me right now and I havent been posting as much as usual but I'll make my way back here more often.
Big Hugs and Lots of Happy Wishes coming your way.

Headboard Votes are in ~!

 What a morning lol..  I got several emails about folks not being able to comment.  I fixed that yesterday evening, I thought.  then I got more emails so I tried to fix it again AND remove the links added to my post. 
 Instead-I lost the whole Post and 1 more...   Cant find them, cant retrieve them..   Feeling very lucky I didnt delete my entire blog like I did 2 years ago ..   I cant tell you what a bad feeling that was.

At last count, before the post went poof:)  it was 27 for the curved headboard and 2 for the square and 2 for "either will look good"  giggle.. I'd say the CURVED won, wouldnt you?  Yes. 

 I'll start working on it today ..  Thanks for voting and for making some great suggestions.
 Ya'll are the BEST~!
 Next we'll have to have a Lamp vote lol..  Yep thats right. I'll be adding  several Lamp choices and would love to have your opinion as to which works best.. 

thanks again
xoxo
