No, no this was not my $10 score. This is the lamp that is on my 'I want but even if I had the money probably wouldn't buy' list. (Am I the only one with one of those list?) This lamp is Stray Dog Designs and about $600. It is paper mache and just makes me smile...
But... a few months back while checking out our local Habitat store with Hooper, I came across this sea foam artichoke beauty. And she was $590 less then the one I loved... I wept...
a few supplies... (white lacquer in a can! - oh the things I could paint...)
Don't forget to tape the cord!
If you notice the lighting, I started this project very early in the morning but did not start painting until late afternoon. No, my a.d.d. was not kicking in, my kids were... I am sure my neighbors love my Sanford & Son projects hanging out in the front yard all day!
By night it was dry enough to bring in...Let there be light!
I still have some touch up and need a finial but I am STOKED with how it looks....
I am sure for the next week or so I will move her around the house until I find the perfect spot.
how about you, any great habitat finds?
May all your $600 wants be $10 finds...
Bye, bye birdie,
