Basically, I took a regular 'ol floor lamp and repainted the shades. Might sound boring but its actually a very nice and unique look.

Is there any alternative to the primer??

The primer might not be necessary, but maybe try adding a second coat of paint instead.

Thanks for commenting!

getting out my spray paint. I was looking for a great shade idea. For your lamp, painting the base green would look cool flowery!

Cool idea! I think some darker red strokes at the base would make it look like a tulip...
