Dining Room Lamp Makeover

When I painted wide stripes in our entryway, I loved the result, but thought they looked a little bit out of place with just the one wall painted. Continuing the…

Hi there- love the lamps and yes, I totally wander the house sometimes looking for things to paint :). Have you considered painting your walls above the wainscoting? Our dining room is navy blue and I love it…the moulding really pops! One another note, I am not sure if you remember me, but we communicated months ago about the color of your hardwood floors…my name is Megan too as a reminder…well, we ended up ripping all the carpet out of our second floor and putting in hardwood and going really dark with the stain throughout the entire house…first and second. I LOVE it, but a total pain in the rump to keep clean (you were spot on about that!). I follow your blog and really like it…You have great style!
They look great!! And yes, I totally do that (walk around searching for a spray victim!)
Love the new lamps! I too am in spray paint mode around here….must be Spring coming! Thanks for posting these pics – I love the idea of the ribbon too! Hope you had a great b-day!
LOVE the lamps!
They look great! I absolutely love your dining room!
They look beautiful! I love the shot of them with the drapes in the background! The room looks so gorgeous!!
Great change. Just what your room needed.
I love how those turned out! I can't resist spray painting lamps either – so many fab colors out there! Love those new Valspar paints – I haven't seen those yet!
Love them! If you wanted a bit more aqua maybe the color you have in the group pic of colors would work out well. I will spray paint anything not nailed down!!
I also have a navy dining room…which I love so much. The wainscoting looks amazing with it. There are so many gorgeous shades of navy
The lamps are beautiful. Maybe add a few pillows with navy and blue to your side chairs.
Wow, it really did make a big difference! They are a great shape, but they did really blend in before. I loooove my spray paint, but I've never painted a lamp before. It's on my list of stuff to try. 😉
Wow! I never thought about using the ribbon like that. I have two plain end table lamps that ribbon would look good. Thanks for the idea!
Whoa! I love those lamps!!! What a difference some spray paint made!!! Great Job!
Great idea to change the color of the lamps! I bet the blue really adds to the already gorgeous room!
Frist, the lamps look awesome, the color really pops! Second, new paint colors?!?! Now I have to make a trip to Lowes this morning 🙂 Wooohooo!!
Gosh those turned out really cute! I love that color.
They turned out so cute…I love the ribbon accent. I've been working on our dining room as well so I love your inspiration!
They look awesome Megan! love the ribbon too!
I think it looks great! Absolutely love the way you tied in the blue with the ribbons around the shade as well. Great job! And PS. yes… I have major trigger finger when it comes to spray painting, especially with so many great colors out there!
I like that blue on the lamps. what if you found a small ribbon that tied in the peacock blue and light blue for the lampshades? then you have the best of both worlds!!
Looks so good! Spray paint is amazing, you can do so much with it.

Cute. I really like the ribbon touches as well.
Oh I so do…I paint everything!!! Seriously half my belongings are a different color than they were when I bought them. I love paint; it transforms anything! Your lamps look gorgeous in a color!
It might not be the right blue, but I love how the lamps turned out! The ribbon is a perfect finishing touch.
Love them! What a difference!! How would we ever survive without spray paint? 🙂

Love the choice of blue! I am spray painting a toddler bed for my nephew the same color! I like the silver bowl the best on the buffet 🙂 adding some turquoise lumbar pillows on the extra chairs would tie in the color from your drapes as well:)
Absolutely love the way you tied in the blue with the ribbons around the shade as well. Great job keep it up…!!!!
I love the colour of the lamps….I see what you mean that aqua would look good too….but I think these are more unique….but like you said, you can keep them like that for a while, then paint them!
It is really amazing how just that one little thing can make a room pop!
I love the lamps, Megan! The color and the ribbon looks fabuous. I really think that blue looks wonderful in your dining room. They pull out that royal blue color that you have in your curtains. Very pretty!
I actually really like the color that you chose..but that's the fun thing about spray paint.
I think I have an unhealthy addiction to spray paint (not in huffing, lol) but in spray painting everything I can get my hands on!!
Beautiful change, love it! so easy too!
I LOVE how your lamps turned out. They suit the room perfectly 🙂

Great new look! Yep, if it isn't nailed down, it just might get spray-painted! Funny thing, I've turned The Man into a spray-painter, too!

Love the finishing touch the ribbon provides! I like blue, it's a sophisticated color that's not too bright and pops off the neutral wall!
Love the blue! And yes, I walk around my house wondering what I'm going to spray paint next. 🙂
What?! That is just too good! great job~
I love the lamps…and I know the feeling of lookin around the room and figuring out what to spray paint next. I went on a spray paint rampage last weekend.
