Tired of dark lampshades?





How often have you tried to read with the bedside lamp, just to find out it does not provide sufficient light? We now stock a clear PVC backing which provide much more lighting for easy reading.

Bead Frame Shade

From time to time, clients ask me to do make something out of the ordinary, and I always try to assist them, because lampshade making is a challenge, and what keeps me going, is the challenge every day. 

So, I got this phone call requesting a lampshade frame to hang beads to it.  After a few emails, and sketches, I figured it out.  And can you imagine how stunning this frame will look with rows and rows of beads in different colours, glittering when the light shines through....

Herewith the frame at different angles.  The outer ring is 40 cm, the middle one 30 cm and the small one 20cm.  The vertical height from the shade ring to the top is about 20 cm, which leave you with lots of centimetres for the length of the different beads.





mmmmm, keep on dreaming....

Child under a Lampshade

This lampshade I recovered for the 101 Options Antique Shop, in Main Road, Strand.  The stand is exceptional and talks to me! The shade was damaged and dirty.  After a few layers of paint, brand new satin & beautiful woven trim in shades of cream, this lampshade is as good as new.

The child under the lampshade will enjoy her reading again! Switch on the light!
