Christy received this pineapple lamp with a challenge from a friend: give it a makeover. At Confessions of a Serial DIYer, she says, “This was kind of cute as is, but the lighting was super dull and I have no need for a tiny lamp.” So she cut the cord off and waited a few days for inspiration to strike.
Christy says that eventually “the threaded piece sticking out at the top gave me an idea.” She decided to make a memo chalkboard! Christy found an old thrift store picture frame in her garage, drilled a hole into it, and screwed it right onto the lamp. To match the lamp, she spray painted the frame gold, then gave the frame and lamp a coat of white. She sanded a bit to “bring out some details,” then inserted a piece of chalkboard. And there you have it: Challenge Accepted!
