I'm told the pattern name of the lamp base is called "Cranberry Coin Dot" of which I don't know very much about, I'd love it if anyone has any information they can share about the lamps or the pattern.
I hope you enjoy the transformation of these whimsical little cuties as much as I do.
This project was what I had asked Mr. La Bella Vie for as a birthday present and we had so much fun doing this, I just had to share!
they were both pretty dirty and disgusting once we took them all apart!
but they had great potential...
great little details...
and lots of old patina...
but these little gals needed a good bubble bath...
new wiring...
and a new place to show off their pretty new pink outfits...new shoes, new dress and new hats to match...
and somewhere to show them off...
sitting atop my June mantle all decked out in their pretty pink spring finery...which is a light and whimsical departure from THIS look just a few months ago...
Hope you enjoyed this little pink project as much as I did!
