First Lamp Update

That was quick, right? (Lamp gods are smiling on me this week)
So, we went from this...
To this...Ben said the shade isn't quite long enough - he was promptly asked to leave the room.

A little hasty, and probably not permanent styling. (Little paws abound at Casa G)
Injection of color and tad of drama with height of lamp = goodness
Terrible lighting for impromptu photo session = arrggghhhh

Next up on this vignette: cooler fabric for that slipper chair.

    Black shade was a good choice. Love the colors together. I see a lot of ginger lamps at goodwills but never a pretty color one. They are always mauve!!!!

    way to go! It's funny because I could picture the whole exchange. So glad that you were able to get something that worked. Of course it turned out beautiful!

    Your artwork? Bold choice on the lampshade.

    When are we going to see the rest of the room?

    I inherited 2 identical lamps from my great aunt. They respond very well to gloss spray paint. So if anyone else sees any similar ones at Goodwill - don't let the color keep you from purchasing them!
