lamp re-purposed

I am obsessed lately with re-purposing ugly things, especially lamps.  What is with ugly-shaped brass/gold lamps that seem to just be pouring out of people's ears? 

I wish I'd taken a before picture, but all I have is the after.  I'm so proud, even though I'm afraid to turn it on because it might start a fire.

those of you who know me will realize how epic this is that even one picture was taken

That's beautiful! I want to try one. Is it a thrift store lamp?

Ashley,

It is a thrift store lamp. I just spray painted the base and hot-glued fabric around the shade. Easy peasy (sp?)
