I would love to see a picture of your rescued lamp when you’re finished. It sounds beautiful!

I saved a fantastic lamp from the trash. The bulk of the base is a ceramic globe in the most awesome shade of yellow. Just need to spray paint part of the base and give it a nice new white drum shade, and it will be gorgeous!

I, too, have a billion thrift store lamps, all currently wearing some hideous shades. This should take care of the problem.
