Rooster lamp! {French Country home decor}
This guy was in need of a pick me up! I love my roos, and I adore French Country decorating.
My rooster lamp, that I adore, and have had for sometime now, was crying in the corner, he wanted paint too.
In fact, very soon, this entire corner is having a makeover..thanks to my Mom..you will see why very soon.
I used antique white, paint and primer all in one by Glidden. I was very happy with it.
Worked out beautifully! Lightly distressed..
aww Heck give em a new lampshade too.
Burlap one shall return someday, but I could not resist this one for 9.97 at Walmart, {bhg line}
Lots of fun changes around here to come!
and simply amazing!
{Can't wait to reveal this something special}
While one roo was getting a makeover, my brush accidental slipped to another...
and white No less...
Oh boy, this girl is crazy with a paint brush in her hands!
Have a great day!
Thanks for popping over and saying hello, always kindly appreciated.

Way to go. The ro's are certainly looking all dressed up and spiffy. I need a makeover too. Wish a white pai tbrush would do it for me!!
Hi Debbie! Your roo looks brand new! Hey...that rhymes! :-) I love it painted white and the shade is fantastic. I just got some that are very similar. I loved seeing your proud accomplishment framed up so beautifully and I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!

Good Lord, Debbie- I swear one day you are gonna paint your husband...paint a big old SMILE on him though, would you? Cuz he always looks pretty darned serious in your photos. LOVE your white roos...poor things never knew what hit them! xo Diana
At least you are painting fun things. I have to paint boring walls. Love the new white roos and that lampshade is perfect.
You found that lampshade at WalMart ?! I am SO going to look for one next time I'm there (which, sadly, seems daily). LOL. Love your roo's new look. And, your red scale looks great popping in the background!
They're look'n good in white. Great shade too!
That lampshade from Walmart? So cute. Love the white.I am slowly painting some things white too. Brightens things up.

Love the new look of your rooster and that lampshade is perfect. I love french country as well. I can't get over that you got that lampshade at WalMart.
Love how your little rooster lamp turned out. I've seen that lamp shade at Walmart too and thought how cute it was. They have some cute things every now and then. Can't wait to see what you've got in store to show us.
Great looking redo, Debbie! I like that new shade too. Fabulous!!
Hi Debbie, love you white roos and the lamp shade is fabulous.
Barb
I am a nut for lamps and this roo is terribly pretty in white.
What a great job!! I adore any woman that love's roosters. I have them every where!! Happy Tuesday!
I love your painted roosters. The lampshade is gorgeous!!!
Dee
I can't believe you painted your rooster lamp but he does look good! I looked for that exact lampshade at our Wal-Mart and they don't have them here:( Can't wait to see your reveal! By the way, how's your wrist?
He looks pretty all dressed up in white. And I really really really like the new lampshade. Gotta go to Walmart and check it out.
To funny, I saw that lampshade at Walmart today and almost picked it up.
I think you are certainly dangerous with a paint brush. LOL Do you dream about painting things in your sleep? I think the white is a great pop of color against the darker walls.
Great choice, and I can't wait to see what's next.
Mr. Roo looks great white and I love the new lamp shade. I spy you moved your rooster picture too, it looks great in it's new spot! Martina
I bought the same shades but in the drum shape.. Great minds think alike I see, muhahahaha..
Love the room lamp in white. I need to paint mine too and now I'm inspired to do so. yours looks GREAT~!
The lamp looks terrific! Love the new shade, too! Your roos look great white! Thanks for sharing.
WOW! I love the change in your rooster lamp.
Seriously, that shade came from Walmart? I was thinking Ballard Designs!! WOW!
Hi Debbie, Mr. ROO... Looks Like a Brand New Man!!! Love the Gingham Ribbon it adds that Extra Special Touch... Can't wait to see what the rest of the Corner is going to look like... I must say your thought of quite often as I drive by a particular home that has a GINORMOUS Iron Works Rooster in the front of their property...
Have a wonderful week!!
Oh yeah! Rooster needed that! Looks great!
Can't wait for whatever you have up your sleeve!
Know what you mean about Halloween being not so fun once the kiddos get older. But then, when you have grands, it is fun all over again!!!
wow, looks great,, I agree with nana dianna, I think you might just paint anything thats stands still long enough,, look so good though,, you certainly have a passion for roo's!! I think I like this one even more now,,I love the chippy white look
Awww, cute Roo! Like his chippy white :)
Can't wait to see what else you are up to!
Hi Debbie, I love the rooster painted white and the shade is just perfect, can't believe you found that at Walmart. Can't wait to see what else you do to that corner of the room.
Hugz,

Hi, Debbie! Your rooster looks great all decked out in white! And that's the perfect shade to go with his new look! :)
Hey, if you get a chance, drop by my blog. I'm hosting a $250 giveaway! :)
Love the white roos.....my white paint seems to be getting all over the place here also. And I love your Roo lamp and that shade..WOW. I must take a ride to Walmart! I've been looking for a Roo lamp forever and can't seem to find one. If your's ever goes missing you know where he will be!
Marianne :)
I love the roo lamp painted white! Great shade too. I spy a red gingham ribbon...I love, love, love red gingham.
Love the white - I love painting with fun, crazy colors, but may not love the outcome. I nearly ALWAYS love what white or black can do for anything.
I love him white and what makes him super fab is his red bow! So cute! Did your mom have your magazine pages framed for you? That is the sweetest thing!
Love the lamp transformation! The lampshade looks great on it and I am amazed you got that at Walmart! Great price too!~Hugs, Patti
Both your roos are adorable and they look fantastic painted white. I can't wait to see the transformations. I LOVE that roo painting too. Hugs, Marty
The roo's all look fabulous with their new looks! I saw that shade at Wal Mart as well and loved it! Fun to see someone using it, it looks great!
Heather
Love your roos painted white. Gives them a new look! With all that energy you have, wish you could zap over to my house with that paint brush in your hand! I'm sure you could find some things to paint. lol
The rooster looks wonderful and I love that lampshade, too!! Great job!
XO,
Jane
They are handsome, Debbie. You did a great job with the new paint job again...Christine
I can't believe that lamp shade was a Wal-mart find...and a super price, too! Ummm, trying to decide where I can use one myself! Love it! :)
Your roos' makeover is fabulous! I have that last rooster, and am thinking he is about to face his destiny with a paint brush and a little white paint!
The roo's definitely getting cocky!! and looking good. Great job! Love it all.
Count me in as loving the change also. If a rooster could look elegant, then that would definitely be yours and I can't believe the price of that lampshade!! Oh lala.
Love that chicken! And love that lampshade! I'm hittin' Walmarche first thing in the AM *winks* Vanna
Love the lamp makeover Debbie. You say you got that darling shade at Wally World? Wow I'm gonna go check and see if they have any in my neck of the woods.
Danielle
adorable! love your new blog header, too!
Very nice. I think the roo looks all prettied up now! Cute lamp shade too, surprised to hear it was from Walmart!
Your roo turned out stunning in white, Debbie! Love that lamp shade! I keep saying I will get to Walmart and get one for myself. I think it's great that you just updated something you've had and loved with paint. I did the same yesterday. Such an inexpensive way to update something and get a brand new look at the same time!
They are both so neat, I love how they turned out, that is where I bought my lampshade for the roo lamp I have too!
I also love your header, the picture of you and your "boys" is so cute!
Oh your rooster turned out great.
So love the lampshade. Our WalMart's here don't seem to carry the same stock. Too bad for me.
Umm, since your roo redo outta be in a magazine if I copy this for the next party, would it count:) lol
ok ok just kidding.. I had to come back and look, cause I really love this.
That lamp is the cutest thing I've ever seen and I am on my way, just as soon as I finish dressing, to WALMART...and HOPE they have that adorable shade....love all of it.
Cute! Your roo looks great. I'm almost itching to paint my rooster lamp. Can't wait to see what else you've been working on!
oops I also wanted to add I LOVE your recipe pumpkin! It is absolutely fabulous!
Hi Debbie, Your rooster lamp redo looks great!! Looking forward to seeing your framed pieces from your mom...
I thought you might like that rooster cabinet!lol...It sure would look good in your kitchen too! Glad you joined the party!! Kristen
Wow! my mom would love your house. I just did a post about her roos, filled kitchen. check it out some time.

Sundays party still going on. Also check out my giveaway.
Love the make-over of the Roo-the lampshade is perfect! lol yes Walmart will be out of lampshades and rooster swags :-) That is what I love about your blog -you keep it real you go to Walmart -add your creative touch and it turns out amazing! I like your new blog header too-you really are changing things up:-)
Too cute! You know I love roosters! I also bought that same lamp shade for an accent lamp in our bedroom. Love it!
Nothing cuter than a white roo. Love the lampshade too. I have to admit that I have one also. When I saw it at Walmart I just had to have it.
hugs
Sissie
I've been a paintin' fool, too!
I also have that shade from Wallie World, only mine is round and on my office desk lamp. Did you know that Ballard Designs sells them,and theirs are like $40-$80? Look: http://www.ballarddesigns.com/empire-lamp-shade/shades/lamp-shades/209495
Anyway, just confirming our good taste ;)
Love your roos, toos!
