Two Thrift Store Lamps, a Glamorous Makeover Creating Cohesion!

Two thrift store lamps get a glamorous makeover for my master bedroom! I found these lamps on two different weekends in two different stores and just knew I could make it look like they belonged together. Ever since I started working on my latest Master Bedroom Refresh it felt like I really needed taller and larger lamps to help balance out the headboard and the bed. After finding one of these lamps I knew I could find another that was similar and then I spotted it and it was only $3!

I started out having spent only $11 for the two lamps when I realized why the last lamp I purchased was missing a shade and was only $3, the top of its harp was broken!

I could have made it work but I decided to take the opportunity to order a harp that would make the two lamps almost the same height so it really actually worked out for the better! (The new harp I purchased off of amazon was only $7.44)

First I grabbed some leftover gloss black rustoleum and put two coats on the majority of the lamps. From there I made sure to protect the inside of the socket and I taped off the black.

I then painted the bases and the tops of the lamps in a Krylon chrome spray paint and honestly I couldn’t believe how much they looked alike!

For $30 I purchased the two white bell shades from Walmart and then I took the finished lamps upstairs to my master. All in I spent around $20 for for each lamp and that seems like a pretty good deal to me!

I think they turned out really glamorous and like they belong together! Make sure to keep scrolling to see the other thrift store makeovers from the rest of the Farmhouse Hens.
