Currently loving...

colorful lamp shades.  Maybe because spring is here?  Not sure.  But I want to add a dose of color in my living room and I'm targeting my lamp shades.  I just bought two new white ceramic cylinder lamp bases from Target and I LOVE them.  Now, I'm fixated w/adding color via the shades.  Here is some inspiration...




The ever so talented Anna...she can do no wrong in my book.  Does anyone know what type of fabric is on the above shade?


Loving the blue ikat Danika used on her lamp shade.


Love Kirsten's bold blue lamps!

    I'm actually in the market for two new lampshades and I may just have to explore some colorful alternatives to white!

    Love a punch of lamp colour- either through the shade or base. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

    Love, love, love the use of a fun, colorful shade! Have you tried Lindsey's dyed lampshade tutorial? Perhaps that could be an inexpensive option for your new lamps!

    These pictures are fantastic little bits of inspiration! I have the most fun lamp shades in my bedroom! I find the best, colorful lamp shades, with designs at Homegoods/Marshalls/Tjmaxx, but you have to go quite frequently b/c they can be hit and miss!
