Randomguy Posted April 4, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2021 I have a lamp and no lampshade, because the ex broke the nice stained glass shade a number of years back, and I kept the lamp part because it matches the floor lamp shown in the picture. I need to replace the shade, and they are stupid expensive and I am not sure how to find a duplicate. Is this something I can do myself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted April 4, 2021 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2021 You could get a lampshade stained glass kit but they are stupid expensive. I'd recommend you go to pier one or some place and buy a simulated stained glass shade (even if you buy the whole lamp) and fake it. https://www.delphiglass.com/lamp-supplies/odyssey-lamp-kits/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted April 4, 2021 Alternately, I could just find a regular lampshade, I suppose. What style would kind of fit in with the lamp above, stylisitically? I have added a photo of the actual lamp for interpretive dance purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc2000 Posted April 4, 2021 Share #8 Posted April 4, 2021 And it does not even cost what a real Tiffany shade would cost you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should settle down and smile and say "that is so cool" or somesuch, maybe go out and have a nice beer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted April 4, 2021 Share #14 Posted April 4, 2021 We have Tiffany style lights in the kitchen. If I had a bare bulb, I’d use a grow light and hang some plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc2000 Posted April 4, 2021 Share #16 Posted April 4, 2021 The shipping cost is high because you want it to arrive unbroken, so it has to be packaged so the shipping gorillas cannot damage it easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted April 4, 2021 Share #18 Posted April 4, 2021 Check on Anazaon, I got a replacement shade for a lamp there last year - just a plain parchment with some pattern to it. You could get something simple now and then upgrade to a stained glass one later if you want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Kosciuszko Posted April 5, 2021 Share #19 Posted April 5, 2021 Don't need a lamp shade. I'd suggest trying the decorative Edison bulbs. You should check that the bulbs can burn in a horizontal position. They may be limited to base-up or base-down burn orientation only. They don't last as long as LED or CFL's, don't put out a lot of light, and can be pricey. But they look nice and you might be able to buy a lot of bulbs for the cost of a lamp shade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
