Refinishing a cheap floor lamp with the Silver and Gold Challenge

[@redesignedbynina]

Omg! I absolutely love the little gears you added to the shade. Well done!

[@AskingSpot]

@@redesignedbynina thank you Nina! Miss seeing you in action 😊

I love that you persevered, pivoted, and turned this into something fun, Margie! Nice Steampunk vibes. I never would've thought to spray paint a lampshade but you've inspired me!

[@AskingSpot]

@@CopperCactusDIY got to say I’m looking at every lampshade in my house differently now 🤔😁

I just love your videos - they're so upbeat! I can't believe you created this look using spray paint! And of course I love the steampunk look of this lamp. So fun!!!

[@AskingSpot]

Thank you! I try to keep it light and hopefully entertaining as I figure there are plenty more qualified people offering the “how to” videos. Spray paint is my go to for anything that doesn’t get handled a lot🫳

This is so fun!!! I love the added gears!! That E6000 glue is a beast for making repairs lol!! I love it margie!!!

[@AskingSpot]

Thank you! I had fun doing it😄 great challenge

[@thekraftycreech]

@AskingSpot ohhh good!

[@statementdesigns]

Margie, when you pulled out those gears I never expected the "lacy" result. Love it❤

[@AskingSpot]

Thanks 😊 It was a pleasant surprise to me too!

[@diysbydar]

You really like steam punk i think? Turned out cool. Old sheets of newspaper print would look cool decoupaged on that shade. Well done margie.

[@AskingSpot]

Ha! It’s mostly been stuff I make for my sister who loves steampunk but I was just thinking this would be my last. However, your newsprint news print idea is on point!

This is a super fun light - I like the way the gears look especially when the lamp is turned on.

[@AskingSpot]

@@gretchen_needs_a_dog thank you! It has me thinking about how I could add stuff to other lampshades😄

[@OwlingDogDesign]

I love the antiquing of the gold! And I love the tiny gears decoration! You know, those would hang somewhere, too - like on a fine wire. Hmmm... perhaps a future project! Adorable, Margie!

[@AskingSpot]

@@OwlingDogDesign thank you! I had considered making dangling gears but reconsidered because we’re moving so yes a future project😁

[@OwlingDogDesign]

@@AskingSpot Hahaha, earrings! That would be cute!

[@whatheatherdid9615]

Not everyone's cup of tea, but definitely would be mine 😂 I love it! I think the gears are fun!

[@AskingSpot]

@@whatheatherdid9615 thank you! It was a fun challenge 😊
