Lamp Before
|
I found this floor lamp in my local charity shop and it was exactly what I wanted for my living room, bar a few changes I thought I could easily make lol.
Firstly, I hated the colour of the varnished wood, so I began the time consuming task of sanding off all the dark varnish; yea, I know I should of used a paint stripper, but I obviously lost my mind.

So after about 10 sheets of sandpaper and a lot of frustration I ended up with a beautiful, red mahogany wood turned pole :)
I also loved the shape of the lamp shade, but hated the material. At the minute the shades stripped down to its fire proof layer, but I haven't found the right material to recover it with yet, so it's still a work in progress and this plain shade is holding its place.
I also discovered the light bulb holder was broken and I replaced it with a brass one.
