Was at Target today looking for some kind of contact paper to finish off a little midcentury bar/side board I am taking to Springfield Extravaganza this weekend. Sauntered past the lighting area and spotted this gold coral lamp. It was gold, so it caught my eye. BUT THEN, I remembered that I had a jar full of coral, sponges and other underwater whatnots. A whole Bikini Bottom just sitting in my basement. I had thought very little about how what I would do with this since it’s purchase. Until Target today.
When I won this at the live auction, I mostly just wanted it. I had no clue what I would do with it. I had wondered all over the event looking at things and this was the ONE small/little I really REALLY wanted. Believe it or not, I seldom have a hard core plan for anything I buy/win/covet.
But I won it, I paid for it and I brought it on home. Then it went to the basement. Until tonight.
When I brought it up this evening and went through it, selecting pieces to turn into gold, I found this little note about half way down.
Which was just an unpaid bonus as far as I was concerned.
To the point. I took out about 10 pieces and sprayed them gold. I LOVE THEM. I have zero beach décor in my home so can’t keep, but I really love this little sparkle!
and …..
The biggest piece is about 3 inches. These photos make them look like islands of coral. I guess everything you see isn’t real 😉 But lots that glitters is gold!
Will post again after I set up Thursday night. I’ll show you how I plan on displaying these lovelies!
