Den lamp re-do

The den project is slow going, but eventually, when I'm not working all these extra hours at work, I will have a couple of days in a row to get it done.  I hate doing a big project piecemeal.  It just feels so frustrating not to see enough progress to visualize the end result!  I and tend to want to do it NOW as opposed to taking my time.  Guess it's good I haven't had time to get it all done!

One of the things I wanted to do in this room is give the lamp a new coat of paint.  It is a solid brass lamp that I spray  painted  black.  Hubby has had this since college, I think.  It's got some wear and tear on it since the first paint job several years ago.

 It normally stands at one end of the leather couch - that shade could use some spiffin', too.

 I took it out to the patio and gave it a light sanding, primed it, then painted with ORB spray paint.

 I didn't even bother to tape off the glass table insert.  Dry spray paint scrapes off glass like a charm.

 While it dried, I gathered some sage green burlap and craft glue.

 Painted the shade with glue and wrapped the burlap on.  Trimmed it up a bit and tucked the edges under.

 Here it is drying on the kitchen counter with clips to help it stay put.

 After;  a nice ORB metallic sheen on the base with no nicks or chips.  Better!

 See?  The paint scraped right off with a widget.  I use that widget scraper for so many little jobs like this - if you don't have one, get one.  I promise you will use it a bunch.

Put back together and waiting for me to get going on the rest of the room.  

It's has a softer glow when turned on and I love the texture the burlap gives.

Might need to finish off the edge with some pretty trim. 

Whatcha think?
