I like to search Goodwills for older brass lamps that are tossed away by other people. They aren't very appealing to the eye but to someone with a knack for fixing things up, they're perfect. The lamp in Emily's room is a re-painted brass lamp. So is one of the lamps in my living room. I score them for around 3-4 dollars. Our local Goodwills get stuff from Target that is new but doesn't sell in their stores. I can often find good lampshades to go with my lamps. So here's one I recently did. I scuffed the brass up and spray painted in light, even sprays. I let it dry then do a second coat, then a third if needed.
