Spray paint improves my funky cool lamp
The shade isn't quite right, I know, but it's the best I could do right away. It's an odd shape and size to get a shade for... I will keep looking. Anyway, this thing was not nearly so attractive when I got it, and I can tell it's from an era where brown oak paneling and harvest gold carpets were in:
Maybe that's not the original harp? It's so small for the huuuuuuge base. It looks so bottom-heavy with a smallish shade and harp. Anyway, I just threw some spray paint on it--black gloss, $0.99 at Lowe's. I thought about doing it a color, and maybe sometime I will! It reminds me of some of the cool big lamps I've been seeing, here are just a few from Crate and Barrel:
