I recently bought this lamp at Goodwill for $2.50. Since I am really good at remembering to take before pictures, you'll just have to imagine the base was red. I am in the process of doing my son's room in a vintage airplane theme, hence the shade fabric.
I gave the base two coats of blue spray paint.
I measured and traced out the fabric for the lamp shade, then glued it on . I had originally put navy trim around the top and bottom too, but decided I liked it better without and ripped it off.
I think the whole project cost me less then $6 bucks! Not bad for a little lamp.
