It seems I'm always in need of a lamp shade but have the hardest time finding them. I have a lamp riding around with me in the car...just waiting for me to find her a shade! Where do you find most of yours?

The silver candlestick ...Ok, here is the truth....<br /><br />The silver candlestick lamp and red linen shade were purchased together and are from Restoration Hardware. However, these lamps often wear the black shades which were a $5 clearance item from Drexel Heritage!<br /><br />The black candlestick lamp which appears to be wood, is actually a $10 metal lamp from Ikea!!! And, I originally purchased the pair to accommodate the purple oval damask shades. They were a pricy little find from Laura Ashley years ago.<br /><br />The taupe silk shades are from sconces, and I use them whenever I want to lighten things up a bit.<br /><br />I loved hearing all your guesses and favorite combinations!Acanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087985679708902082.post-36358959071450549462010-03-10T05:21:04.241-05:002010-03-10T05:21:04.241-05:00I have just put black shades on silver bases which...I have just put black shades on silver bases which I love - they had fabulous hot pink linen before but it just wasn't me!

Love the shape of the red and black, love the drama of the black but I love the color of the sand shade and I think it goes so well with the candlestick. I would probably do the black shade and silver candlestick bc I love the mix of traditional and streamlined but I suspect the silver candlestick lamp was purchased with the sand colored fluted shade. Just a hunch.
