It didn't take much to take it from 'curb-side trash to a sofa-side treasure'. It was rewired (Home Depot's all in one kit), painted grey (Benjamin Moore's escarpment) and topped with a new shade (HomeSense). Sweet.
P.S. The pillows (I purchased two) are my salute to 'Honeysuckle', Pantone's colour for 2011. They look fabulous with grey - like most colours do.
P.S.S. Marathon Man thinks I've made the room 'too girlie' with these pillows. What does he know? Hello, he runs in his bare feet for Chr@#st sake!!!

The lamp looks really good, again a little class and yet practical - a place to put ones drink/coffee, and the pillow adds a nice touch of colour and texture.
As for 'Marathon Man' ... perhaps he could see it as a nice blend of feminine and masculine decor.
It's looking good, what,s next?
What's next?
We're thinking about making 'some' changes to our Kitchen!
I'm getting excited just writing about it...
Awesome makeover, I might have to steal this for styleNorth!
Steal away Chris.
Who doesn't love a good 'from the trash' story?! Like your amazing dumpster lamp. http://www.stylenorth.ca/blog/2010/11/dumpster-diving-pays-off/
I think it looks fantastic! I wish I had the at home skill to re-wire lamps and such, home improvement is such a entertaining chore.
