YAY For bargins!!!
I cant wait to make the ugly lamp pretty!
Do you need to use primer on metal lamp bases at all?
Yes! You can get spray primers for metal, but I'd just use my handy White Knight Grip Lock primer (because I already have some) - it sticks to anything. I've used it on wood, metal and plastic, no probs.
Hi Kek,
You have done some great research into antiques and hands-on, DIY decorating and to top it have posted some great images on the forum. I would like to ask you if we could do a feature article on your build and also feature some of your decorating ideas on our blog? Your insights and ideas will be very useful to other home builders on the look out for inspiration. Let me know what you think. Cheers, Jess.
