Do you remember me mentioning that I was on the hunt for a set of drum lampshades for our primary bedroom, but didn't want to spend $80 on them?
I hit the lampshade jackpot at HomeGoods last week!
Guess how much I spent on new lampshades...
Here's a sneak peek + Pearl.
I'd been checking their lamp section frequently for months waiting for a pair of drum lamp shades in the right size for the right price. My store has several aisles of lamps and the end caps have the lampshades. I had seen several single drum lamp shades, but I wanted a matching pair in black or any neutral. I spotted these oatmeal lamp shades and I couldn't get them in my cart fast enough. They were only $29.99 for the set! They were in great condition and just the size I needed.
I couldn't wait to try them on my lamps at home. I carefully opened the package in case I would need to return them.
BEFORE:
We got this set of Stiffel lamps for a wedding gift 19 years ago. They've been in every house we've lived in and I was ready to update them. The original lamp shade felt pretty formal and dated. I was on the hunt for drum lamp shades. I was hoping that updating the shade would update them enough for me to love them again.
AFTER!
I changed one lamp shade out and compared them side by side. I love the new drum shade!! It was just the update I was hoping to give these lamps.
Done! Both lamp shades updated. Whitney & cat approved :)
I was really pleased with the quality and price of these lamp shades. Here's the tag in case you're on the hunt for a great shade. I checked places like Amazon and Target online and a pair of very similar lamp shades were all going for $70-80. I didn't want to spend that much so I'm thrilled that my HomeGoods hunting paid off!
I smile every time I walk into our bedroom and see these new and improved lamps.
Funny story - I was so excited for this project. I asked Kevin if he noticed anything new in our bedroom. He and Fletcher agreed that everything looked the exact same. Olive noticed the new shades right away. So this may not be a WOW project for every person in your family, but wowing yourself is important :)
Slowly, but surely, I'm finding the perfect pieces for our home!
Do you have any lamps that could use a shade update instead of purchasing a whole new lamp?
Love the earrings! Glad to know that Freddy's has a cheeseburger wrap! We just got one and I didn't want to go because I didn't know what I would eat! HA
ReplyDeleteI didn't know lampshade shapes had names!!! I think I have drum shades on the two lamps in my livingroom and YES, I love that shape. I think they are PERFECT for that beautiful bedroom! I love the black and white check with a pop of yellow or gold or whatever that is. And look!!! If that other cat would cooperate and get on the other table, you would have matching lamps and cats!!!
