I love the easy to follow steps. In fact, I was toying with black but have decided to pattern my lamp after yours using the Krylon Red. Thank you Thank you!

Good luck!

It is soooo hard. Does it matter if I don’t get off all the shine?

And I was (and am still, actually) on a DIY kick myself, re-did two side tables and a coffee table last weekend ;) So much fun to look at the improvements and know it was all YOU! :)

It reminded me of this post. Here’s what I think you should do: Get some more lamps, refinish them, buy a bunch of lampshades at IKEA, and then sell them on e-bay for a profit! You could have a cool little business going in no time. :)

I was recently trying to find a solid colored onesie for my baby to wear, one without any logos or pictures on it, and I could find nothing. But I could find tons of plain white onesies, so I bought some dye and dyed it the plain solid color I wanted. YEA! Do it yourself rocks! Oh yeah, and a while back I needed a lampshade and was impressed with the variety and prices offered at IKEA. You might want to try there next time.
