A Romantic Style Lampshade

Hello everyone!

I recently stumbled across this beautiful blue and white lampshade while shopping at Target.  I walked passed it thinking it was really pretty. So, I finished up my shopping and then returned to give it another look.  And by golly, it ended up coming home with me!  I figured that I could always return it if it didn't look as good in my home as it did in the store.  


I had hoped it would bring in another touch of blue somewhere to coordinate with my newly painted blue dresser in the foyer.


It coordinated SO well, that it landed on top of that dresser!  

Here is a close-up of the shade.


The white flowers are actually raised on the shade.  

But, my favorite part is how it looks at night when the light is shining through it.  


It almost looks like lace.


The blue color sort of fades away and just leaves you with the pattern on the shade.

I added it to a lamp base that I already had.  It's a white glass base that reminds me of milk glass.


So, I'm pretty happy with it!.  I decided to put the lamp, that was in here, in my kitchen.  I missed not having a lamp in there.

My husband and I have been working on our front porch over the past few days.  So, I should be able to share that with you soon. 

Thanks for stopping by!

  7. Oh, how pretty! I just bought an old floor lamp for my living room thinking I could add a nice modern shade, but I can't find one to fit. Darn!

  12. I love how the flowers are raised. It really makes it interesting and especially beautiful at night. I know what you mean about having a lamp in the kitchen too. Now that I have one in there, I don't think I could ever take it out. :)

  13. Kelly, I love it! I was in Target Monday and I ALWAYS go down the lamp aisle, though I most certainly don't need another lamp. Most of all I love the raised part. How pretty!

  14. Perfect for your corner. I always find if I keep going back for something, it's speaking to me and it usually works perfectly.

  25. I love this look -- so fresh and classic and summery! I find it best to just go ahead and act on those visceral reactions to something, because you can always return it if it is a mistake. This one is a winner!

  26. Kelly, this is such a gorgeous shade and how it changes when the lamp is lit is fantastic. Good thing you went back and it happened to jump in your cart.

  28. I would have purchased the lampshade, too! I'm a sucker for a pretty lamp (and buy too many lampshades as a result!) Love the tureens, too (I collect them also) and the color of that shabby dresser! Found you over on Must Love Junk and I'm your newest follower!
