my job is awesome.

last week, i painted this lamp for a client. my client is one of the first ones that i acquired back in 2009, when i painted her daughter's nursery. well, she's having another baby, and i came in to help again! i can't wait to see how the nursery for baby #2 turns out, because i looooved baby isla's nursery!

anyway, this vintage lamp was bought off of etsy. as cute as it was, my client wanted the colors changed and freshened up a bit, so that's what i did.

here were the original vintage colors:

and, after:

she liked the general colors, but we wanted to add some turquoise and a lighter orange. the yellows and whites needed freshening up, too!

i love this lamp! i love their batting eyelashes, mr. giraffe's folded umbrella, and ms. giraffe's open umbrella. couldn't get any cuter!
