Seems like when you notice one thing needs to be replaced, then you start to look at everything and find even more things that are in need of being replaced. I am on a lamp and lampshade binge, and seems like several of my lampshades needed replaced.
Finding just the right shade can be a real trial and error situation, but I think these new ones are perfect.
These are the shades that came with this lamp. I threw them away so I can’t show you, but again the fabric was a nubby linen and really, really dirty. You can only dust something so many times and all those nubs just held onto all the dirt. I live next to farmland, so we have new crops being planted and plowed all the time, super, super dusty.
I started looking for a replacement that wouldn’t break the bank. Lamp shades can be really expensive. At Home (formerly Garden Ridge) has a ton of shades and styles to choose from and the prices are really reasonable.
I chose these silk shades for style and ease of cleaning. No nubs to hang onto all that dust.
I think this is a great style for this lamp and it looks pretty when the light is on too, that’s an extra plus. These were $14.99 each. I think that’s really reasonable.
Love them and how they compliment the style of the lamp and the room.
Ok, I have new lamps and shades in several rooms, so now onto the next project. If you missed my cozy fall bedroom makeover, you can check it out here.
