Nah'....more like HollyWEIRD Regency!
I went to an estate sale this weekend and scored some really cool pieces
BUT I think one of my favorites has to be this little lady in the back...
Man O' Man! This poor little lamp was a HOT MESS.COM!!!!!!
I saw her sitting in a corner at an estate sale..
She was Gaudy as all get out and diiirrr-T!
Disclaimer * I KNOW this glass shade SuCKS!
But it's what it came with, I shall be on the hunt for a new bonnet for Ms. Lady...*
First things first, I grabbed my fabuloso, (Which I Luuuurv, )
If you haven't tried the all purpose cleaner called "Fabuloso"
Oh honey! You haven't LIVED! hahahh
Truly, it smells soooo goood! OK. Anyway, (Shit, you guys KNOW I get off topic..)
I cleaned her up..
And once it was all dry, I used ASCP in "Pure White"
to get the perfect shabby white I envisioned her in!
2 coats later...
Here she is pre distressed / waxed..
Of course, I couldn't leave her like THAT!,
I brought her in, applied the wax and got to "Shabbying" her up..
Clear waxed applied..
Light Sanding..
And a little dark wax applied...
And here she is....
From Hollyweird Regency to Shabby Chic ROYALTY!
Friday 2/3
UPDATE!!
O.K., Tell me whatcha' think of this...
What if, I recovered a drum shade...Maybe add ruffles to the bottom?
OR Another person suggested maybe hanging something from the glass shade. I DO Have Chandelier crystals I could hook off of it...
O.K. Officially confused =(
What says you?
Besos!
