~Updating My Lamps
Lamps can be a great way to bring in more color, style, and elegance. I follow Heather Clawson of Habitually Chic and I saw her white base lamp with the black shade and I just loved it!
So I took notice and some tips and decided to update my lampshades with a chic black.

This is my lamp in my sitting room. I love it! This is the before and after.

I love this black and white lampshade that I found at a store called At Home.

I found this lamp there also. It has a creamy color to it and matched it up with this bell-shaped black lamp shade. Magnifique!

And I had this white lamp base for some years now and added this black lamp shade last year. It looks great!
I hope this inspires you to take a second look at black lamp shades!
