    Same here!!! I am addicted to 2 things... Shoes and Lamps! Both of them (Shoes & Lamps) after I am buying I am keeping in the car and only after husband got sleep I bring shoes in the clothes or lamps to the one of guest room. Well....if new shoes I am finally wearing lately, but lamps are still "hided".... there is no more place in the big house for them! :bigtears: P.S. Every time when my husband see new shoes and asking me: Are they new?.... I am saying every time: OMG! I am having them several years, but you my Love should take vitamins for memory. :smuggrin::smuggrin::smuggrin::smuggrin::smuggrin:

    @bluemoon Looks nice though this shade is a little small, but if later you will find something like these (at the pictures), I think your lamp will increase couple hundreds $$ in "look". :rolleyes: Also if you will be able to find in any colors, but similar shape - it would be so easy just paint it in cold or black colors. 4kl.jpg 545477.jpg

    Should I polish the lamp? The brass parts I mean.

    I just discovered the magic of vinegar..

    I wouldn't.
    It's earned that patina.
