 Hi y'all! I finished up my lamp refresh and I'm so happy with how it turned out. You can see the before  here . It's amazing what just a little Rub n Buf  can do to change the appearance of a finish.  I've had these lamps for years and while they aren't really my style any more, as I said in my  previous post , I just can't part with them. There's just something about them that pulls at my heartstrings. That being said, I decided a change in finish would help them fit better with my decor.  The Rub n But in Spanish Copper gave the lamp bases a more realistic finish and the darkened copper look blends so much better with the finishes in the rest of the room.  I let some of the original finish peek through for a more authentic look. Here's a picture of the lamp before. And this is after the Rub n Buf. Just a little refresh with big results, don't you think? Thank you so much for stopping by today and as Holy Week draws to a glorious close, I wish you ...

They don't necessarily "go" with my style, but there is just something about them that keeps them hanging around in my decor. They definitely need a refresh and I think I can make them look better as well as helping them "fit in." So here is where we are starting. This is what they look like with the light turned on. This is a more accurate picture of the color. My primary colors in our house are green and copper. These lamps actually do have a hint of copper, but primarily they look more brass to me and just aren't living up to their potential in their current finish. I've been wanting to bring more copper and rust hues into ou...
