I found this lamp at a Habitat ReStore for only $1.00

Begin by spraying THE base of the lamp with a textured paint.

My inspiration was these distressed blue and white vases.

[{"selector":"#anim-d07512a3-f028-4c4a-912e-5c322a74f074","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66d2fa0e-8e1c-4ab6-8e1a-bb55ac15014b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100.04146%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

I found these napkins to use for my design.

[{"selector":"#anim-a21af86e-75df-4c0d-9df5-05d69cd15e16","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3d0fadaf-2c31-47c3-96a3-2aa74372d7d2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 136.68465%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Since the napkin background is white, I painted the lamp base with white chalk paint and the decorative bottom with gold.

To distress, apply small smudges of black paint RANDOMLY on the lamp
