A Simple Change

6.16.2011

I truly have a addiction thing for lamps. Just can't help it. When I go in someone's home or a  home tour or in a decor store I am drawn to lamps. Well, the lampshade is a huge part of the overall look, too. Ever since Pottery Barn came out with their burlap shades I have been wanting two for my bedroom lamps. I was waiting for them to go on sale, but I don't thing that is happening any time soon. Probably will now that I went ahead and bought two of them.

This is an old shot of the before since I had already changed the shades and was too lazy didn't want to change them back for pictures.



I bought the cream colored ones instead of the natural burlap. We need as much light in this room as possible at night.

I think it is the texture that I am drawn to plus the fact that they really do put out great light.





I like how my new shades go much better with the shades on this side of the room.


Such an easy change and I love them.
Sometimes you just can't wait for a sale.

Have a super weekend!

    Do you think lamp addiction is a Southern thing. I have lamps stashed everywhere...I would stash extras in my car trunk if it wasn't full of treasure that I haven't brought in the house yet. I usually just bring one thing in at a time!!!
    Love those shades...probably a good thing that there isn't a Pottery Barn anywhere near here!!!

    Those are pretty Kim. I'm pretty sure they have the shades at the outlet by me too. I didn't pay attention how much they was though.

    These are really pretty and so is your bedroom, Kim! I was lucky to find a burlap shade at Target about a year ago. I wonder if they still have them. I am all about the texture, too.

    Have a great weekend and good luck with the giveaway!! :-)

    Well, sweetie girl, I didn't think this room could get any prettier but..you sure proved me wrong. I LOVE these shades..every thing about them.

    LOVE the new burlap lamp shades. I saw some at Target the other day. I want one for the alabaster lamp in the office but need to figure out what size. I usually take the lamp with me when I lamp shade shop. lol
    Have a great day. Looking forward to the blog party.
