Just as I hoped when I got it home, it's more of an acid-green/chartreuse color than a true yellow. I love it.
I think it looks great in my living room/family room. I'm a sucker for color, if you couldn't tell. Now, I just need to find the perfect shade (this is just the shade that was on the smaller lamp that used to occupy that spot; it's too small and not the right color, plus I need a taller harp).
Here are some options from Shades of Light . . .
Black Paper Drum Shade |
White Cylinder Shade |
Black Bell Shade with Gold Lining |
Linen Drum Shade |
Black Lizagator Paper Shade |
Of course, the lamp shade will end up costing almost ten times the cost of the lamp, but oh well. So, what do you think? A black shade or white? Drum, cylinder or bell? Too many options. I need help!

Like the simple black paper drum shade for it!
What a great find!

I agree! I think it will make a much more striking statement.
I love the yellow. I would definitely go with the black shade. I just fixed up a Goodwill lamp and used a black shade. I love how it looks. Here's the post so you can get an idea.

I was right there with you explaining what it felt like to spy your gem. I LOVE that feeling. That excitement. :)
