Swapping Out Lamp Shades

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
