LOL! I've got the same light sitting in my basement! My teenage grand daughter just had to have that light a couple of years ago. Somehow she managed to break it off at the top where all the globes are attached. I've been trying to decide whether to repair the light, toss it on the curb, or come up with something new to do with it!

Be Safe, Rach

What about ditching the electrical works, painting the shades bright colors, polka dots or B/W checks, adding some silk ivy around the pole and turning the shades upward and adding plants!I know it sounds crazy, but it might work! Whatcha got to lose! You could possibly use it for tealights also on a patio or porch, paint the pole like woodbark and the shades like wood also, it would fit right in your garden!Or, when all else fails, put in birdhouses or birds nest! OK, i'm exhausted now,whew, I'll shut-up! Wish I could come over and craft w/ ya! blessings-sherri

I had that lamp also in my family room with a blus artsy sofa , Big fat yellow chair and a cherry red chaise !!!!!
My youngest begged for it all when he moved out so he got it but when he got married wifey made him find new homes for it all.

Sometimes projects just do not work out grrrrr...I tried this new spray paint on the lamp...it was Rustoleum hammered spray paint and it has a funky spray nozzle that literally takes 2 hands to work...then the stupid little nozzle broke off so paint went everywhere...I highly do NOT recommend this paint...then when I finally got it all painted the top part of the lamp would not sit on the base correctly....then I realized that is why they threw it away... so there was not way I could plant it because it just kept falling over as soon as I put dirt in the lamp shades double grrr...oh well it had sat on the curb geting wet for several days before I rescued it so I would not have wanted anyone else to get it and accidentally plug it in and get zapped...I hope I am not the only one who had a project not work out

I despize spray paint.It is so difficult to control, it hurts your trigger finger,you end up with overspray everywhere,the nozzle plugs, the paint drips,
and it absolutely cannot be good for the environment!!!!
Give me a bucket of oops paint and a brush any day. And don't feel bad, we all have our junk that goes bad ,live and learn and share your troubles with Garden web-ers like us who care.
