I was also thinking about painting my horrible brass lights outside the house. Is it easy to remove light fixtures, or is this something I should have Hubby do?

I've really enjoyed these last two posts about lamps. I too love lamps and I love having light in every room. I start turning on lamps as soon as I get up in the morning and they pretty much stay on all day. I was curious so I counted mine and I have 25...so far. LOL Loved seeing your tutorial and your southern list was so true! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.<BR/><BR/>Hugs!<BR/>KatJustabeachkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730467440181411875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-21384456325749047442007-06-23T12:47:00.000-05:002007-06-23T12:47:00.000-05:00All of your lampshades are gorgeous!

Yes, you can definitely use the spray adhesive on fabric shades. Whatever you are covering up can be sprayed & the new fabric put right on top. Doesn't matter if it's paper or fabric, it will stick. <BR/><BR/>I'd love to hear from some of you who do some makeovers.<BR/><BR/>A big Hello to my cousin April! <BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>RhodaRhoda @ Southern Hospitalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741881774379561710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399639578758058574.post-78501581242898163052007-06-22T14:21:00.000-05:002007-06-22T14:21:00.000-05:00Hey Ro, Love the brass paint stuff.

My son, having gone to college in MS, is quite charmed by the girls having two first names, and said that if he has daughters, his will be named that way, too (he hopes to stay in the South to live, too).
