Throwing Shade – 10 Minute Decorating with Lamp Shades
Throw Shade – to talk trash about a friend or acquaintance, to publicly denounce or disrespect.Â
I’m throwing some shade today. Â Actually, I’m throwing some shades around my bedroom but don’t worry, nobody was hurt during quest for the perfect lamp shade.
In this little corner of my bedroom, I hide … I mean retreat from the chaos of everyday life.
Sitting here, curled under a soft fleece throw with a good book is great …
but staring at that red lampshade has been bringing me down.
You see, I bought this floor lamp years ago and here it’s been sitting, taunting me, daring me to remove that shade I’d grown bored with.
I finally had enough and wanted a fresher, brighter, simpler look so a quick switcharoo was all it took.
I love this neutral drum shade …
I also snuck into my daughter’s room to try out her colorful embroidered shade.
What a difference a shade makes.
For the time it takes to twist off a finial, you can get a whole new look.
From dark and formal …
to whimsical …
to a neutral drum shade that goes with anything.
Don’t worry, I put my daughter’s shade back before she could throw shade at me.
