I’ve been helping my good friend & buddy, Pat Miller update her front room, formal dinning room & family room.  We’re close to being done and I’ll post pics later, but for now . . . this was a quick and inexpensive update to the 2 lamps in her family room.  We were shopping at Home Goods (of course) and found these great drum shades ($20 ea. – shade on the right).  They are white and the fabric on the shade is like a linen.  They update the look of the lamp and brighten the room – cheaper than buying a new lamp!!  Another option is if you have an old lamp that you like the shape of the base but would like an updated look . . . try spray painting it & changing the shade!! Spray paint does wonders!!
