All the pieces were from abandoned lamps. If you look at thrift stores, many lamps are made up of several components. I just start taking them apart and mixing and matching the pieces. Maybe tuning a cheap BASE upside down to become a holder for a candle or potted plant. It’s really, really fun, like working a puzzle. Sanding the metal, roughing it up a bit allows the paint to adhere a little better. (or are you talking about when I used the emery board to distress?)

have fun!

What did you as the top pieces for the plants? Why do you have sand the metal?
Thanks very much. I am excited to try this on 3 old lamps I have.

I have several of these lamps sitting in my garage that I’ve wanted to do this to forever! My healthy side hasn’t been with me for a long time so I haven’t done them yet but I will because now that I’ve seen yours I definitely love them! I knew they’d be gorgeous and they certainly are!

Thanks Nova,

The emery board makes the distressing easier to control. It takes a little more patience, but I think totally worth it.
