Romantic vintage shades

A beautiful Saturday morning to you...

One of a kind shades can transform any piece of lighting. 
I've been making my own for years with skeleton shades.
They are always on my vintage shopping radar!

Shades are a fun DIY project, easy to change out with another idea.

I hope you will be inspired to try some on your own.....

My Design tip: Look for vintage skeleton shades with various shapes. You'll be surprised how fun it is to design your own one of a kind shade with cool embellishments.

Hop over to my Saturday's Designing with vintage series blog at Second Shout Out & shop!
