    Shade seems too large . Love the style with the very beautifully painted lamp. Perhaps raising the shade up with a “harp”.

    • @DesertDIY
      @DesertDIY  9 місяців тому +7

      I think you're right it's a little bit too big

    • @buffalure3198

      Agreed, it seems just a tad bit too large. Too bad. It was perfect for the lamp otherwise.

    • @misslannie73
      @misslannie73 9 місяців тому +5

      I agree, either a larger harp, or a smaller shade xx

    Great finds! I have a lamp like that red one, from 1940s, inherited it when my aunt passed. It has a big ruby knob on the hasp to hold the shade which is just like your shade! And oh those beautiful pictures! Priceless! Enjoying the beautiful background music! Thanks for sharing with us! Hugs!

My lamp hoarding heart loved the lamp with the beautiful picture on it❤ The blue is beautiful, the shade works great!! The frames turned out very nice on the art. Ohhh Wow.. love what you did with the little shelves!! Definitely going to grab some of that paint and try it on one of my pieces.. so pretty!! It all turned out so good!!

    I think you did a great job on everything. Because the lamps “ fussiness” isn’t my thing I probably would have painted over the center pic and done a more modern transfer over the top. ( I realize most people are gasping). The shade seems fine but large. the corbels flipped over is genius! I’m going to copy that for sure
