Door Lock & Lamp Makeover~

I still had my little one home with me today, not sure if he will be up to school tomorrow.

With little time on my hands and while he was sleeping I looked for something to do that would not take a lot of time or was noisy.  I took a look at our front door lock and handle "that's it", so I got my trusty sanding paper out and sanded till I could no longer see any of this shiny brass, I then cleaned them off with some TSP, taped up the areas I did not want painted and went to town with Oil Rubbed Bronze spray paint.

Here is the shiny brass before~ 

After~

Yuck, I did not realize how bad this area of my door looks, it is in need of an oil rub or wax. 

LAMP~

I have had this lamp for sometime now, years ago I removed the electronic components and just had the base.  I was not sure what I wanted to do with it, a friend of mine does amazing flower arrangements and I asked her to make one for me for our kitchen  I remembered having this lamp base in my goody closet and  thought she could use it. Great job right? so beautiful!  I LOVE it so much.  I even like the fact that you can see the holes left behind on the base so that I can tell all my friends it was once a lamp!                               It came apart when I moved it to take this picture~

The Holes~

Here she is~ B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

I need to set the table so it does not look so bare!

Thank You & Many Blessings~
