Hey Deb! I really loved the look, I can tell they were likely more traditional in appearance with the brassy/gold finish...but I wanted to bring them into a more modern style and the matte black finish really helped me accomplish this 🙏🏼✨ I am so glad you liked the finished product! Thank you for always being so encouraging!

Thank you, Inga! It was a small change, but I really feel that it brought the lamps into a more modern appearance. The antique brass screamed “70’s” and though I loooove vintage, I thought the black elevated the look over all. So glad you agree my friend 🙌🏼

Now, I am so peanut butter and jealous over those lamps....what an amazing addition to your collection !!! A helpful hit to anyone that uses spray paint....WEAR RUBBER OR LATEX GLOVES....it REALLY helps. Haha. I have even wrapped my hands in plastic shopping bags. Be well and have a great rest of the year. Here's to 2021.....fingers crossed 🤞 it's a good one .

You know how we do, always looking for something to make another find work!

@@beaualexander7000 Thank you. Same to you. I've been thinking of starting my own KZbin channel. I get a lot of inspiration from seeing your videos. I like to bargain shop. Thrift stores, Facebook marketplace, and a local store in my area called dirt cheap. I've gotten really nice pieces that a person wouldn't believe came from a thrift store. Anyway, you inspire me. Hope you have a great rest of 2020 and 2021 will be greater..

Thank you my sweet friend! I’m not one to use Facebook myself, but I do enjoy scrolling through marketplace as I’ve had quite the luck while sourcing affordable home decor finds over the past few months. It’s exhilarating for me but I always try to be as safe as possible as it can be quite intimidating compared to shopping at a more traditional brick and mortar storefront! A very happy weekend to you and the girls 🤍

Hi Beau! Yay, we can relax now and enjoy the down time until New Year’s!! I love those marble lamps and I think they will do nicely on your bedroom night stands. Anxious to get the bedroom tour! Since you’re having difficulty finding matching lampshades have you thought about getting another pair of drum shades that are similar in style to what you have? You might be waiting a longgggg time my friend. Of course the thrill of the hunt is part of the fun. 😉 Enjoy your week, Beau, and will look forward to more videos in the new year! I love your style both personally and as a stylist. 🤗 Mandy from Tucson🌵

Hello Mandy! She is early to the party this weekend 🙌🏼 thank you for the compliments, my friend. I definitely think I’m going to have to source two shades from somewhere else because I’m not keen on the idea that I’ll find another to match either of the two I have. But I definitely gave it the good college try 😆 so happy to have e-met you this year! Much more to come in 2021
