    Shade seems too large . Love the style with the very beautifully painted lamp. Perhaps raising the shade up with a “harp”.

    • @DesertDIY
      @DesertDIY  5 місяців тому +7

      I think you're right it's a little bit too big

    • @buffalure3198

      Agreed, it seems just a tad bit too large. Too bad. It was perfect for the lamp otherwise.

    • @misslannie73
      @misslannie73 5 місяців тому +5

      I agree, either a larger harp, or a smaller shade xx

    I think you did a great job on everything. Because the lamps “ fussiness” isn’t my thing I probably would have painted over the center pic and done a more modern transfer over the top. ( I realize most people are gasping). The shade seems fine but large. the corbels flipped over is genius! I’m going to copy that for sure

Your blue color took it up several steps to a breathtaking piece. I wish I had those lamps now to update just like yours. Its beautiful.

    Hi Cory! Amazing makeovers as usual! To answer your question on the lamp, I love the shade it goes perfect! Just a suggestion but not necessary, you could rub n buff the gold parts to tone down the gold just a hair, but it's fine the way it is. The reverse distressing technique you did on the wall shelves really did turn out stunning! I do the same technique on alot of my makeovers also, I love the effect it gives! It really makes the details stand out! (But it's also called dry brushing I think?) And your new shirt looks so cute on you! :-)

    I think you should go back to the lamp and do some reverse distressing to match the corbels, especially around the center art and base where you outlined with your brush. It would look better if you somewhat mimic the original trim in those areas rather than straight brush lines.
