So, by painting the inside I eliminate this problem since the inside is never touched. :) Also, I really liked the look of the paint coming through the glass vs. a flat color painted over the glass. It almost makes it look like the glass is that color.Sheenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242163910223367532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694300609096906230.post-90411171876819889212021-01-20T19:12:20.901-06:002021-01-20T19:12:20.901-06:00What made you decide to paint the inside, rather t...What made you decide to paint the inside, rather than the outside?

Our thrift stores carry loads of cheap lampshades but they're always pretty ugly and those are a little harder to manipulate into looking good, I think. It's funny you say that though because, now that I think about it, all of my thrifted lamps are topped with new shades. Haha!

Better guard them well! ;) <br />I have never taken a lamp apart before but the way you showed looks so do-able. Maybe one of these days I'll get the courage to try. <br />Oh and by the way I juuuust put up my first Christmas decorating item today. We'll maybe get a tree this weekend and do a bit more decorating. It is always so much easier/more fun to put up than to take down...so I'm learning from my past self to simplify a little...at least until the kids get big enough to help out more.
