The finished Pink Pretty Lamp...

I shared earlier last week HERE my pretty pink lampshade transformation, now here is the completed project.  As I told you my partner Sharon was painting the lampshade.  I can't paint a stick figure, and she does absolutely beautiful work so she was in charge of the painting part of the project.  She did a wonderful job. 

Here's the lamps before Sharon began the project...


The lampshade (which I was in charge of) had matching green bias trim.


We wanted the lamp to be a pretty pink for our Tea Party Castle Display.  So Sharon started to work her MAGIC.
Doesn't she make it look easy?


Here's a close up once it was complete.... 



Can you see the pretty flower with the white polka dots?


The finial matches the lampshade trim perfectly!


Here's the completed project.... 
 I think we make a great team.  I can't paint, but give me a glue gun and some frilly trim with a bit of bling and I'll work my magic!


I just love the eyelash trim with the tiny pink beads. 
Wouldn't this be perfect for any little girls room.


When shoping at a thrift store or if you are out and about this spring on a garage sale hunt,  make sure you snatch up that old lamp that no one is looking at. You can easily change that old lamp into a new creation!  Stop by and see more creative ideas at the following sites.  That's where I'll be linking up...

    Beautiful lamp, Sherry! It's obvious you complement each other between the painting and the embellishing.
