Lamp

Brass into stone? It's possible with a spray paint that provides a textured stone finish. A lampshade gets a custom look with grosgrain ribbon attached with fabric glue.

FURNITURE MAKEOVER TIP:
Explore the wealth of craft products that are easy to use. For example, fabric glue is great for certain projects such as attaching ribbon or covering an item when sewing isn't required. A simple coat of spray paint can really transform an item as in the stone finish I used on the brass lamp. Furniture waxes can impart an aged look when lightly rubbed on pieces.
