On one of my trips to the thrift store I found an ugly metallic orange gooseneck lamp that was sold at Target a few years ago for $3. It really seems that some of my best finds at that thrift store cost $3.
After taking it apart and washing the metal bits, I laid down a few coats of satin black on the lamp shade and base and put the thing back together. It was a much quicker ordeal with the lamp than I had with the fan.
Once that was done, I added some white pinstripes using the same enamel paint markers that I used on the fan and overlaid some black pinstripes with a gloss black enamel paint marker. The red cord was then wired to the switch and it was ready for photographs.
I'd like to present:
"The Rockabilly Desk Lamp"
From the sides.
And some detail of the base.
I still need to pick up a bulb for it, but otherwise, I think it's finished. I'll post a photo of the lamp turned on sitting next to the fan once I get the bulb.
