lamps my way

A couple months ago I found these lamps at Home Goods for $29.99 (each). I love the mercury glass base, but not crazy about the plain gray drum shade. So, since then, I've been searching for a new, better, more fashionable shade. Do you know how hard it is to find a store that ONLY sells lamp shades?! I went to all the thrift stores in town and it's a combined deal: Lamp + Shade. Garden Ridge sold only shades, but poor selection. I then looked online. I settled with this burlap drum shade from Pottery Barn

Much better, don't you agree?!

Burlap is really IN right now, and I love it. I love the natural look, and how it can still be "dressed up!"
