BEFORE
Here's a close up of the AFTER. I sprayed them with heirloom white and distressed them a little just to highlight the detail work on them. I also added a glaze.
Much better don't you think.
Added a white duvet at the foot of the bed which I've had for a few years.
Thanks for all your help & have a great weekend!! Can't wait to here from you:) Martina
The other day when I was in Home Goods and bought the new pillows I also found these beauties! Love the patina on them and all the chippyness ( if that's even a word). Don't know where I'm going to display them just yet but I couldn't pass them up for $7.99 a piece.

Lamps look gorgeous Martina. I love those chippy, patina whatever those beauties are. Are they candle holders? Have a good weekend!
Hey Martina...the lamps look pretty terrific painted white. Can you share what you used to trim the lampshades? I can't tell if it's ribbon or some sort of braiding? Almost the weekend and I'm telling you I can hardly wait! ~Ann
The lamps look wonderful & are such a big improvement. I'm always amazed at what a little paint can do. Have a nice weekend!
They turned out great, Martina! They really lighten up the area {no pun intended!}.

Hi Martina!
I love what you did with your lamps. They look great!
Do you need another set of lamps for somewhere else? I have taken urns and pieces like the items you found at HG and made them into lamps.
Those two would be great converted!

I got all excited when I saw that you had an update!! (We are all so weird, aren't we!?!) I thought, "Yeah! She did something with those lamps and is going to show us!" lol
I actually didn't want you to paint them, but I gotta say...they look AWESOME! Really nice redo and the trim is just the thing the shades needed. Thanks so much for following up and sharing it. :)
I love your bedroom. The lamps really do look better lighter. Great idea to use trim on the lamp shades. I really like your wall color.

Thanks Martina for joining me.
Love your lamp redo! I have been thinking of spray painting a lamp and I just may do it this week. Thanks for the inspiration! By the way, love your whole bedroom.
I have a very similar bedroom set. Not that you will ever see it on my blog because that would mean I would have to make the bed and pick up the clothes that are all over the floor! Your lamps look great!
Love the "after" on the lamps. The lamps were great before, but spectacular after. Love the bedding on your bed. Your room looks so nice & cozy. Thanks for stopping by my blog & for leaving me a comment. I really appreciate it.
LOVE your bedroom!
