Having studied design in college I accumulated a lot of tools that have proved useful for my crafty side. My work space currently contains T-Squares and cutting boards of various sizes, a quill and black ink from when we studied ink sketching and expensive colored pencils that made my bank account take a hit. But my favorite of all my design school possessions is my work lamp. I wanted to give it new life so I spray painted it gold. I love the way it turned out!

First I taped off any parts of the lamp I didn’t want to paint.

Then I spray painted one side at a time.

Easy Peasy! Now the lamp will look good in my work space…or on my bedside.
