Lamp and Step Stool

I have a few projects going right now.  I will post these two and then I hope to have more next week.  Hope is the key word.
First up, I found a cute little lamp at Home Depot for $15, shade and all.  It is hard to tell in the picture but it is green glass and a turquoise shade.

It was cute by itself but you know me, I have to change it a little.  So I taped of the shade and spray painted it white.


 It sits on my counter next to my yellow milk cow from Target.  Speaking of that cow, it is $3.75 at Target.  Go get one.  It is awesome!  I think it is for creamer but I doubt mine will ever be used to that purpose.
Next, we had this little step stool that I got a garage sale about 4 years ago.  When I bought it it was a baby blue color.  I spray painted it white and stenciled pink numbers on it.  L added some stickers and dirty footprints.  It was looking pretty sad.

Not to break from the formula (and since I had paint leftover) I painted it yellow.
It is in front of the sink in the kids' bathroom.  And since we are in here I will just give you a little tour.
 I painted stripes on the wall with some paint I had from our old kitchen, 
 The "Family of 5" was a free printable online.  The red frame is from Pottery Barn a couple years ago, in an after Christmas sale.  The metal tray is from Goodwill.  The red fish was originally black and from Ross.
 That 'sign' was made by my sister-in-law and we just had a poster of it printed at Costco.



I still have a few things I want to do in this room.  Get a white shower curtain, frame the mirror, add hardware....  But for now, I am happy with my yellow stool (wait that doesn't sound good. Ha!).
