| I'm trying to decide on more casual looking lamps than my previous ones. I'v already purchased the lamp bases and like the color and feel in the room. They are a wine color, not red or marroon. I thought I'd look for pillows in wine/blue/beige. For info, the size of the base is 6" diameter, size from bottom of base to bottom of socket is 17 1/2". I would prefer to use it with the harp like this:
Lampshade A
Lampshade A w/drape and wall color
Lampshade B
Lampshade B w/curtains
I have two identical lamps above that I will be replacing the more formal brass ones with. Do either of the above work, and can you help me choose? Here is a previous link with the room layout. Most of the changes made are the addition of drapes, a wall photo gallery of family photos (oh my!!!), and blue and white faux hydranges in the tall green vase. My sofa color is a little lighter than Lampshade B. Oh, one more thing. The piece between the socket and lamp is silver. I don't mind changing that to black. We are also going to change the socket to a 3-way for more light. |

| I like the first one for when the light is turned on not too yellow but the second one matches the curtains when it is off I wonder what the second one would look like with a cool white bulb. |

I don't really care about the shape of that shade with the lamp. Have you thought of a short drum shade with it, kind of like this one?  |
|
| I didn't notice that the 2nd shade was different than the first. I like it better than the first. |

| Good catch marti, actually I mistyped B slant size, instead of 11" it is 10". DH just changed to a 3-way bulb. I'll take another picture after dinner. I like the look of the drum shade but not sure on what size to look for. |

| This has the same size bottom diameter as your 2nd shade. |
