If you want a change in your living room but can’t make any major purchases – pick up a new set of lamps at an antique store, or repurpose some lamps that you no longer like. Keep in mind the trusty spray paint can modify anything so don’t get hung up on the color! Purchase a nifty new lampshade at your local home store (such as Target, Home Goods, Loews, etc.) and you’re in business.
Anything can be repurposed – all you need is to look at things with fresh eyes – take on the challenge and ask yourself, “what could I do to this piece to give it a whole new look?â€Â Have fun!
