Baring all has become a way of life in music, television, movies, relationships, and now lighting! When searching chandelier inspirations, I’ve noticed a rising trend is striping away the fabric of existing lampshades and revealing the original craftsmanship of the wire frame.
This idea is very shabby chic and whimsical, but with a vibrant paint color, stylish light bulb, and a creative edge, the lighting concept can become a glamorous statement.
I love the look of a single lamp light, but Donna Walker has taken the idea to new heights with her Skeleton Lamp cluster.
PROJECT:
I’ve come across an amazing vintage lamp shade at a local Goodwill. I was immediately attracted to the silhouette and shape, not to mention, the existing fabric is in great condition, and the gold trim speaks to my Hollywood design style.
A perfect lamp base would set this baby off! However, after seeing the various transformations of wire lamp forms, I am inspired and no longer content with preserving my find. This weekend is the perfect time for upcyling.
The first step is finding the must have paint that will pop in any space.
Any color ideas or suggestions?
