Do you mind if I link to this? I just wrote about either buying or making a new lamp shade to replace my boring old one, and then I found this!

Thanks so much for these easy to follow lamp upholstery instructions! I followed them to cover my own very tiny lamp: http://graceadkins.blogspot.com/2011/11/diy-upholstered-lamp-shade.html

I love a layered look, so in my book the color and shade type doesn’t have to match- it just has to “go” when you look at the room as a whole. Trust your eye!

I love the lampshade & the fabric you used. I may want to try this with one of my shades. (Although, I am not sure if it’s paper or fabric). On a lamp shade related question….Do all lamp shades in the same room have to be the same shape type? For example, I am thinking of having a table lamp on one side of the couch and a floor lamp on the other side. The table lamp has a more modern, round shade whereas the floor lamp has a more traditional bell type shade. Would this look okay or is it best to match the shade shape type (bell, square, circle, whatever it may be)? Also, do the shade colors have to match?
Thanks!

Aw thanks so much Dee! So glad you found us! We just love chatting with people so answering comments is fun for us (along with painting and demo-ing and all that other stuff that not everyone loves- haha). We’re just weird, but we definitely have fun with it!

Stumbled across this post because I wanted to paint my bookshelves
and it’s not the normal mode to paint timber so I found you two, who by the way look so happy together, and I just kept on reading. I love, love, love your willingness and passion for flair and colour on a budget. I say
Yeehaa for your vivacity and fun loving spirit.
You know I found a site a few weeks back where a woman got seriously mocked for wanting to sand and re-do a vintage mahogany table and speak it up. I told her “staying safe leads to a
Mundane life lived to someone elses comfort.
Bless you both. You look so happy.
How do you answer all these comments???
Hope you take time for each other to keep that warmth alive.
Bless you

You can use the same basic approach, but since the shade isn’t the same width on the top as it is on the bottom, instead of a rectanle of fabric to wrap around the shade, you’ll need a more irregular shape of fabric. Just take your time and maybe even cut an old sheet up to make a template to be sure it fits. Good luck!

Love the look of the new lampshade.I was wondering if you could still use the same instructions if your lamp shade was wider at the bottom than at the top of the shade.
