I had one like that at one time, but didn't have a hubby to help w/the rewiring & ended up selling it at a yardsale :( <br />I really like the shade you have on it, and the one from PB too.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146377365343300346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284925404991319330.post-24758068265251326952010-08-09T21:52:07.663-05:002010-08-09T21:52:07.663-05:00I think a little bigger would be better.

The PB ones would look good. I have the PB drum shades on most of my floor lamps. You need the large one. It should be as large as or wider than the base of the lamp so it won't look awkward.

I do agree that the shade is a little too small, easy fix tho. I saw a great idea this weekend at the Flea Market, it the shade was a round barrel shape, and the artist had covered it with old fashioned barkcloth with a vintage tropical theme. It was way cool - and looked fairly easy.Everything Coastalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929822754150590386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284925404991319330.post-3749391731953399652010-08-05T17:20:38.840-05:002010-08-05T17:20:38.840-05:00I agree that the lampshade is too small.

I recently did that and was very happy with their advice. (Only I paid way too much for the shade)<br />I saw some really nice ones at Ross and Target recently.

To economize you could find a cheaper plain shade and embellish it yourself with trim to match your decor.
