I had this lamp from Target that I paired with a dark brown burlap shade. It was okay... but I didn't love it.
I spray painted the base with a dark bronze spray paint and added a natural burlap shade. It made such a difference {to me}. (Thanks, DD, for the inspiration!)
So I changed out the shiny black to some brown horn buttons. Much better.

Love both! so crafty, Brooke. I can't wait to go to Old Navy and Target...leaving for Texas tomorrow!
I LOVE how your lamp turned out! I spray painted a lamp back in October: http://1551transformed.blogspot.com/2010/10/lamp-face-lift.html
Inspiration...that's what I'm here for :)
What a great idea to change the buttons! Looks great!
I LOVE the idea of changing buttons... one of my girlfriends just did this with a simple cardigan and it made a HUGE difference! Also... Love the lamp... I think the black was the perfect choice- it's no longer competing with the light chairs, but standing out instead... love it!

Nice work on both counts! I love the table your lamp is on too.
you are so creative! looks great. both of them.
Both little updates look great!! I love the coat!
good job on both! love that jacket. I miss southern winter jackets. It doesn't matter anyway, I can only buttom mine at the very top:)
You did a great job with both! The lamp really pops now and the buttons on the jacket are darling!
Change is good! I love the look of the lamp!
That's a Target lamp? No way! I love the before AND after.
where are those gorgeous slipcovered chairs from? I love them.
you are so smart. I would have never thought about changing buttons. Love the coat and that lamp does look great. I know you disliked that shade even though I liked it :)
i bought that coat 1/2 off too-- and didn't like the buttons, but was just going to live with them-- not anymore! i am going to change them!
I love changing the buttons on things, it looks great! Love the lamp change too.
The buttons! love it!
Love the lamp and the coat! You definitely have a great eye for style!
Love that you customized the old navy jacket - what a great easy way to make something look better and unique.
Love what you did to both, Brooke! I love your DIY posts.
I love those two little switches- the little details make all the difference sometimes :)
So cute!! I never think about swapping out buttons. I'll have to remember that the next time!
