A friend and I recently went to a stone quarry site and began picking up small shiny stones about tht size of lima beans. Then we bought clear paint, and whatever shade we wanted our stones to become. Now you find a lamp that needs refacing, paint the stones and when completely dry, in usually a day or two, you glue the stones to the lamp. The lamps look brand new and the colored stones shine when the lamp is turned on. My friend takes them to a resale shop and the woman there sells them for a small fee. I redid my own two large table lamps that are 20 years old, still in great working order and now a bright new shade of stones. I am shocked how nice they look, like brand new and both redone costs me less than $20.00.
