Thank you and especially thanks for the link. I needed that! It will take me some time to figure this out. This is my bedroom, the swing arm wall lamps are antique brass (needed to man up the room a bit). On the other side of the room in the corner is a non-descript floor lamp, a chair and soon a small reading table. I need to replace the shade on the floor lamp; itâÂÂs disgraceful and has a dent. The room is a bit of a mix like the rest of the house. IâÂÂm partial to drum shades but IâÂÂm not sure if that will fly in here, need to tie in the headboard, wall mount lighting and the rest as best as possible. DonâÂÂt want anything to frilly or bell-y. I know I want a cream colored shade with some trim of some sort. IâÂÂm stuck on a shape! I think I need a nice shade to counter some of the used stuff and make it all look on purpose. Shade shape for this room???

Search for 'drum shade pendant' and you will find a lot out there. As for lighting sites, here are a few places, along with some that just happen to sell lighting (I'm feeling lazy, so you'll have to copy/paste): http://lumens.com http://bellacor.com http://modernlightinguniverse.com http://lampsplus.com http://formplusfunction.com http://croftandlittle.com http://ballarddesigns.com http://designpublic.com http://2modern.com http://roomandboard.com http://wshome.com Do I have lighting on the brain? hmmmm....maybe

I absolutely LOVE your shade. The three different patterned clears and whites are perfectly lovely. The pattern is simple and elegant. I prefer yours to the old family piece that hangs in my kitchen which I use because it has so many memories. My father rescued this more than 50 years ago from his uncle's barn loft where it was covered with hay and bird droppings. My parents used it in their kitchen, and, although it is too large for my space, I simply HAD to incorporate it. I am going to include a picture of mine because I thought you might want to consider using a similar light fixture that is totally inside your exquisite shade. One that has perhaps three bulbs and a diffuser below. This would, I think, illuminate the band more brilliantly, which I think is desirable. I am not sure that would work with the shape of your shade, but it might be worth considering. I hope you will smile at the thought that someday yours will hang in one of YOUR children's kitchen. And maybe your grandchild's. It really is that good. Is there a way you can put your name or initials and the date inside it? Maybe on the metal of the cap with a dremel? You really should sign and date this. Sandra

bwibby thanks for that link. Hey there bac! Never did make a plan, did we?! I know just where that is - haven't been there in many years and had forgotten all about them. Wonder if their prices are any better than Northern Lights. I'm going to call them today and see if they carry what I need. If they do, I'll plan a trip for that, Costco and the Treasure House probably this week. Let me know if you want to meet there
