Made in the Shade

Replacing old lamp shades is an easy and affordable way to refresh an old lamp and update a room.  In the room shown above, check out the modern,  large, white barrel drum shades on the traditional brass floor lamps. The tall shades add height and make the lamps appear to pop off of the seagrass wallpaper.

I recently scored this beautiful vintage leucite lamp at Slate Interiors for under $100. The only problem being that it was missing its  shade. Knowing full well I had to have it, I gambled on the fact that I could find one! Hours of internet searching lead me to EveryLampShade.com. http://www.everylampshade.com The name is not a joke,  they really might have every lamp shade under the sun!

*My New Lamp

Here are a couple of my favorites for everyone to enjoy:

The perfect way to add an organic element to an otherwise neutral geometric room. In spa colors and in orange and blue! $74

***MY PERSONAL FAVORITE!!!! 

Duck cotton and gold drops make this one my must have piece.$62.99

The perfect addition to a cream porcelain gourd shaped lamp or a glass or leucite lamp. Even more fun, score a flea market find and spray it a fun color and justify spending the money on the shade! $74

Add a refined natural texture to a room without the expense of buying a seagrass rug. This would go with almost any lamp in almost any room. $74.99

Add a punch of color and some fun to a room with this barrel shade! $64.99

Hollywood Regency shines in the lamp shade. $43.99

Ok, maybe not so affordable but ever so cool. This eco friendly shade come in at $124.99

And in Black!

 As for my new lamp delimma, this shade in a bigger size might be the perfect option! I love organic texture with the mid-century barrel vibe.

Or I may just stick with a clean white. . .

Either way, I sure did have fun searching this site!

The shades shown above are mostly available at different sizes and at different prices. Take a look for yourself!

Cheers,
