    I also saw one that they bought a glass lamp at a thrift store and did this. It came out AWESOME!

    I have a lamp that I bought at a thrift shop. I bought it because of the lampshade but not a big fan of the lamp color. I am thnking that the glass paint may look awesome..Its not a glass lamp but I think the glass paint may work. Can't wait to try it.
