DIY Home Decor | Dream Big Lamp Makeover

02/22/2017 by Adrianne Surian 7 Comments

Hey friends!  I’ve got a fun project I want to share with you today on the home decor front!  I had a lot of fun working on a lamp makeover recently, and I love how the finished piece turned out.  I’ve been playing more and more with mixed media artwork, so this is a fitting accessory to my creative workspace.

This project *did* take me more than an hour.  But I worked on it a little at a time over the course of a couple of days to allow each layer to dry before moving on. So as long as you have space on your work-in-progress area, it’s easy to break this project up into 10-20 minute segments.  (A quick note – I created this in partnership with Design•Memory•Craft®.  If you’d like the full tutorial and complete supply list, you can check out the post that I wrote for their blog by clicking here.)

I know this is a bit of a break from my signature quick projects, but I enjoyed using an everyday item as my canvas and turning it into functional art.  DIY home decor can be a lot of fun!  The “Dream Big” theme is perfect for my studio, but it would also look great in kids’ rooms (or kids at heart).

Springtime is a great season for thrifting, so save this idea to Pinterest for the next time you pick up a piece that needs a makeover.  It’s a colorful solution to outdated home decor!

See you guys again soon ~

Hello, and welcome! I'm Adrianne, an artist, author, designer, and blogger in mid Michigan. I work from home, chase my two kids, and this once-city-girl is learning how to care for chickens and adjusting to life out in the country. I have a compulsion for daily creativity... sometimes it's jewelry-making, paper crafting, metal stamping, mixing and baking, or giving new life to recycled items. But with 2 young kids, time is short! My goal here at Happy Hour Projects is to share projects and tips that you can do in an hour or less. The ideas you find here are designed to add a little creativity in your day, no matter how much (or how little) time you have!
