Adding a new lamp shade to an outdated, boring lamp that you already own is sometimes all it takes to reveal hidden potential!  These days, it’s all about working with what you’ve got!

Our friend Emily was in the market for new lamps, but when she saw these brushed nickel lamp bases at a yard sale, she knew they had potential! With their simple silhouette and improperly fitted shades, they left much to be desired, but she snatched them up for $5 each and came running to us for help! Emily trusted our expertise and handed these sad little lamps over to us for an extreme makeover, Shades of Light style!

She ended up choosing the Black and White French Country Toile Drum Shade and we love the way that these black and white shades add graphic texture and contrast in her room!  Here is the final result…eye candy! Thanks to Emily for allowing us to help her with her lamp makeover!
