Lamp re-do

This is the corner of my desk that has a lamp:

I bought the frame at Tar-Jay for $2.50. The glass pear belonged to my mom and has sentimental value - I use it a lot as a paperweight.  The lamp is an odd bronze-gold color and the frame is kind of yellow.

  Both need spiffin'.

I really like the looks of the frame with it's open flowers.  Kind of like lace.  But really, they both needed a coat of paint.  I chose spray paint in Ivory satin to perk them both up!

I also tied a cinnamon colored ribbon around the shade - I think eventually I will just get  a new lamp, 

but for now, this will do!

My sister and I - probably 18 and 19 at the time...a favorite photo which will brighten my desk!
