Thank you for visiting my blog and looking at my problem lamp. I guess I’ll look at them awhile before making a decision, though if I thought they would turn out as well as yours, I would keep these shades and recover them in something wonderful and modern.

Oh my gosh, you have no idea how much I needed to read this post! I will be visiting thrift stores next week for sure! Thank you.

I saw your gorgeous lamp over at Artie's so thought I'd pop in and get the scoop. Good Luck on his draw by the way.

(Just recently I read an article that the inside of a lampshade was painted in gold to finish it off (for viewing the inside of it above eye level).
Unfortunately I can't recall the type of paint or application used, but apparently it also casted a marvelous glow. If you are interested,and I shud come across it again I'll be happy to post a comment on the info.)

Thanks for sharing your creativity.

Rhoda,
I’m so excited about your lamp, and the creativity and final product! It’s stunning, and it looks absolutely perfect on that hall table. I certainly hope you won’t mind my using it on the blog, and entering you for the book?

Oh my gosh — I *just* got a new shade for an old 1970s table lamp. The old shade looks so much like the one you have here…I am so glad I didn’t throw it away!! I think I’m going to give recovering it a try…could be a little more fun looking than the plain white shade.

I’m so glad I found you through the Restyled Home challange. It was so much fun to “play along!”

wow! That was great!

There’s a red glass lamp i’ve been eyeing at the thrift store. I may just have to see if I can have as much luck as you at the re-do!
