Black and Gold Lamps: So Glam

<div style="text-align: center;">I was visiting my parents the other week and I found a brass lamp base in a box in the basement.<br />Unreal Find.<br />When I looked up 'brass lamp' on Pinterest, you wouldn't believe how many 'paint that old ugly brass lamp' pics I came across, and lets just say mine is of the same variety...you know, the old school ones that generally had dusty rose lamp shades and whatnot.<br />Maybe it's just because brass is so hot right now, but I'm in love with the lamp...I see the potential. I just need to find the perfect black drum shade to go with it... trickier than you might think! I found one at HomeSense but it wasn't tall enough to hide the ugly stuff. <br /><br />In the mean time, here is some inspiration of the hollywood glam I'm hoping to recreate:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
