Paint This! 30+ Lamp & Light Fixture Makeovers

September 6, 2014 By Linda 7 Comments

I’m so excited!

 

I’ve made a decision. A BIG decision that feels like I’ve lifted giant boulder off my shoulders.

 

A BIG decision that is so freeing, so invigorating …

 

so  …

so …

 

exciting, for want of a better word.

 

I came to this decision on Friday. In truth, it’s been mulling around in my head for awhile now. I just wasn’t sure if I could make it happen. Because there is risk involved. Letting go of security for a bit of the unknown. But that unknown definitely has potential.

 

A foundation has been built. Doors have started to open. And now is the time for me to get off the sidelines and get my head in the game.

 

Now, I couldn’t make this decision on my own. It definitely impacts the entire family. So I discussed it with Mike on Friday night and he 100% supports me.

 

And when he said that … well, that’s when the weight of the world dissipated. My spirit soared. My heart filled.

 

And here’s where I leave you hanging. Because I’m not ready to share the details of this exciting decision with you.

 

Yet.

 

But I will. Oh yeah. I will.  I’ll share the whole story. In fact, I’ll make you a promise here: I’ll overshare …

Winking smile

So instead of discussing my new “makeover,” I’ll leave you with some awesome lamp and light makeovers. Using paint. Starting with my third time’s a charm’ lamp makeover …

But the lamp makeover up there wasn’t my first time at the rodeo. I also made over a ceiling fan without even taking it down …

      LOL! I know, I know. But plans need to created. Phone calls need to be made. But I can’t even express how freeing this decision has been. I can feel my creativity flowing again. Words are just spilling out of me again … I can’t wait! 🙂
