Lamp re-do

I have really been trying to revamp my room. Take some of the old lamps, frames, candle holders, etc. I have had in my past dozen houses and making them look new and fresh again.

In my last house I wanted to find the perfect lamp to fit in this nook on my dresser behind my TV. It had to be tall and slim. I found what I wanted at Lowe's. It was tall, skinny and a blah brown color.

Similar to this one...

 

After moving in to my new room I decided this lamp was too ugly for my new tastes. I spray painted it gold and made a bajillion ivory felt rosettes to cover my ivory lampshade and I ended up with this...

 

 

I used about 60 squares of felt, getting 4 roses out of each of them and am sad to say the back still has a big empty space in it. So far I love the way it turned out and my only regret is that now all the lampshades in my room are a very neutral white/ivory color. I would have probably chosen another color of flowers however I don't know what color that would be. I love the lamp on it's own and am very pleased with how well it has turned out.
