I've been under the weather lately, been wanting to post this DIY since last weekend! Hubs was heavily involved in this project of mine as I was not feeling very well. So he did most of the work - spraying the paint but i did all the washing and hard scrubbing part.
Little bit of history goes...
We adopted a pair of lamps from Iron Lady's Chef place because she didn't want it but I thought they were quite quaint and charming. So I offered to revamp this pair of lamps for her, and I thought if at the end of the day she still think it's not suitable, it's ok at least we have tried, if she likes it, then we helped her to save some money!!!

| this was how it looked when we brought it home - rusty and dusty |
 |
| rust on all the metal parts |
 |
| hubs dismantled the lamp one piece at a time |
 |
| this little fella had so many screws!!! See how dusty and dirty it was. |
 |
| All the parts dismantled |
 |
| into a tub of water they go! |
I squat at my yard, scrubbing the metal bits and rubbing the glass pieces with my hands.
And they came out clean and squeaky. :)
 |
| Spray paint! |
 |
| Then we ran out of spray paint so hubs went out to buy some more. |
 |
| here how it looks! |
 |
| Looking smart now |
 |
| Next we put the glass pieces back in |
 |
| In goes the screws |
 |
| Last but not least the bottom part of the lamp to be added |
