Simple Lamp Redo

I finally {after 3 months of looking} decided on a new lamp for the end table in my living room. I found this beauty on clearance at TJ Maxx for $20. Not bad considering I had seen the exact same lamp {except the base was lime green} a few months back for $35. I love the square shade and the geometric pattern on the base....but I was not really in love with the color. So, I grabbed a roll of tape and masked off the areas I didn't want painted...mainly the hardware and the cord.
Then I got busy with my black glossy spray paint.

I even remembered to paint the finial that goes on top of the lamp:)

Half a can of spray paint and ten minutes later, I have a pretty awesome lamp that matches my living room wonderfully!

Have you spray painted anything lately?

Ode to a Pine Tree

Pine trees suck.

Mostly just pine trees you don't see

when you are backing up...

But especially pine trees you hit

because you didn't see them

when you were backing up.

But the pine tree that sucks the most,

is the one that made a big scratch on my car

because I didn't see it

when I was backing up!
