Whoever knew there would be such a thing...but there is and I painted the heck of it!
See for yourself...
Here is the ugly lamp that I had gotten off of an online auction last month.
Don't you just love the shape?
Well, I wanted it to be a pretty silver color. So I had read a few places on blog land that some people had used the Blue Magic metal polish stuff...well it didn't work for me. It just turned my copper boiler black (which I actually kinda like because it is on the inside, it makes it look old and used), make the ugly dull brass a ugly shiny brass.
So I did what any self respecting crafter would do! I turned to spray paint!

Not exactly what I wanted, it looks a little fakey...but it was better once it dried.
Here is a picture of this thing. To be honest I don't really know what it was for or what it is called. But I am planning on putting either blankets or towels in it.

So for about ($1 for lamp+$2 for blanket holder thingy+$4 for spray paint) $7 I have some new silver pretties to display when I get my room together!
Oh and here are the knobs to a $15 wall cabinet that I got from the Salvation Army...the cabinet is not finished yet...well actually the only thing that I have done to it is remove the hardware, painted them and removed the doors.
That project will be posted at a later date....or when I finish it.
