Lamp Update

I found this little lamp up in the attic... we had once used it in the guest room of the old house.

Since we're short on overhead lights in this house, I decided to update it for my youngest son's airplane theme bedroom.  The peachy-pink color had to go!

The bedroom colors are blue & yellow, so I got out that same yellow spraypaint I used for the Curious George party and also for the Family Room candle holder.

A couple of coats later... the base of the lamp looks 100% better!

BUT I'm not happy with the shade- it's too small.  It was just in another box of "extras" I had sitting up in the attic... I originally considered using them in the nautical bedroom lamps that were my dad's as a child... but then we came across the original shades in my parents' attic).

So, I'm on the hunt for an airplane-ish lamp shade in a better shade.

You can also see the galvanized metal buckets hanging on the wall behind the lamp (which is above his little desk)... those I got a while back from "PickYourPlum.com".  They're great for holding pens, pencils, stickers, and lots of odds & ends!
