Score!  I love this lamp.  It reminds me of Pottery Barn without the price tag.  Don't get me wrong!  If there is an item for the home and it's a classic, I don't mind the investment if it's affordable at the time.  BUT….when I find a beauty like this, $3 is the charm!!!
I am really wanting to get the guest room completed.  We've only (said with sarcasm) been in this house for 8 years!  Oh well, sometimes it takes a while!  What I envision will look great on the pine chest in the room. 
Enter the players~
All of the ASCP colors I had on hand.  I do need to replenish my supply soon!  I changed my thought process during this redo.  I started out thinking a lighter pallet by doing a coat of Pure White.  I then decided to go with a layer of French Linen, Duck Egg topped with French Linen.  I wanted to see the depth of colors when I distressed in a few places.
French Linen 
Duck Egg
Final coat of French Linen 
I took her outside to lightly distress with a fine grit sanding block.
Now honestly, all I needed to do was 1 coat of Duck Egg and 1 coat of French Linen.  I was just trying to make up my mind.  Silly me!!!
The only prep work involved was cleaning the lamp.  No  pre-sanding or priming was needed.  Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is the bomb!
After distressing, I dusted the lamp really well while still outside.  I applied a very thin coat of the clear ASCP wax with my dedicated brush and immediately buffed it.  I took a little break and came back over and applied my dark wax again with a dedicated brush.  I really make sure to push the wax with the brush into the crevices.  I then immediately buffed with a clean old t-shirt cloth.  Make sure you apply wax with lint free towels.  I did go back and apply some extra wax here and there.  Depending on the look you want, you could have just gone with the clear wax.  The dark wax really ages the color.
She was missing the shade harp when I purchased it at Goodwill.  I was able to purchase one from Amazon to fit for $5.06.  Make sure you measure for the correct size.  I took one off another lamp to try and decided to order an inch larger.  This lamp used an 8 inch one.  At the end of the post, I'll have link to the actual one I purchased.
The shade was a surprise find at Homegoods for only $16.99.  The burlap one I wanted from Pottery Barn or Ballard was much more expensive.  This one isn't burlap, but close enough.  Not a bad lamp for a grand total of $25!
The chest was purchased new 8 years ago.  I just love it!  The mirror is hand carved from Italy.  Those are my more expensive pieces with my Goodwill lamp and $5 vintage oil painting from EBay.  I have started a small vintage oil painting collection through EBay.  I was quite obsessed with it over the summer and how inexpensive they could be purchased!!  Shhhh!! Don't tell anyone.  I am still collecting!
Still not finished with this vignette!  I plan to add some plates above the mirror.
The lamp shade photographs a bit shiny, but it is actually a linen look.  I am still learning the photography thing!

I just love the reflections from mirrors!

Here is the exact harp that I used!  You can click the item to order.

Happy Pinning and Sharing!!

    What an awesome makeover! I can’t seem to find anything at our Goodwill. I looked at the burlap shades at Ballard and Pottery Barn as well and they are so overpriced! I came across a large Burlap shade from Hobby Lobby for $29.99 and I had a 50% off coupon so it was quite the bargain!

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!

I’m sharing my favorite carol on the blog along with our nativity and angels through the years going all the way back to 2012! Did you catch the Christmas Star last night? ⭐️ We missed it, but I think you can see it again tonight.
