This week all our projects have been fast and easy because we've been busy getting ready for the La Maison Rustique Sale...but we wanted to show you what we did with our Junkin' Monday finds...
Remember the $ 7.50 alabaster lamp?...it had no shade...
Remember the $ 7.50 alabaster lamp?...it had no shade...
and the gold base was dated and ugly...
Simple fix!
I always wanted an alabaster lamp, but sold all the ones we have found through out the years...(they are good sellers...sometimes, $ talks!...LOL!)..now I have one!
The shade came from our favorite shopping place: our own garage....

Hope you do great at the sale. The weather is supposed to cool down too! I love alabaster, I have an awesome urned shaped lamp that I'm totally in love with. I got it at one of my favorite stores ;0}
I love the cheese plate idea. Very pretty blog too, I will have to keep checking back in
Love the cloche! I've seen a million of those at GW. I think I might have to get one!
The cheese plate is darling!
Look what you did! It's all in foresight, knowing what it CAN be. Well, that and talent of making it come about :)
Don't get me started on lamps. I've got cubby holes filled with lamps from when I went on a lamp buying spree.
Love the black cheese tray and the fall tag is adorable! Very cute!
You make it look so easy! Makes me wanna overcome my fear of paint and get cracking!

Paint! the cheap little fixer. i saw a lamp just the other day and passed on it because of the exact same base....what a dumby. It is hard to see past the uggg of things sometimes! Thanks for the ideas!

Great makeovers!! I always see those cheese plates and think how could they ever not look like cheese plates even if I alter them, but yours looks wonderful and nothing like a cheese plate! Great find with the lamp! I have always wanted one, too!
Michelle
Both of these turned out fabulous!
Well done. I am really loving the cheese thinggie!
Love,

The alabaster lamp is really neat. Much better white. And the cheese dome is great too.
love that cheese dome re-do!
stop by my Goodwill party every Wednesday and link up your thrifty finds!!
I am so glad that you kept the lamp for yourself. Sometimes you have to do that!
