Painted Leather Lampshades are a treasured item in my home. My southwestern home decor is a bit rustic and I have found that I can introduce many beautiful painted leather lampshades on my existing lamps for a fraction of the cost of buying a new painting to hang on my wall. (Besides, who has room to add new paintings?) Each lampshade is tastefully hand painted with an amazing southwest or outdoor scene. I especially love those that include animals.
Friends like seeing the changes I make when I switch around my painted shades. Each lampshade seems to have a story to tell and becomes so much more than “just a lampshade.” I choose lampshades with a background color that accents the colors in my room. Then by using the shade as a canvas, the artist creates fabulous pieces of art that are so stunning. Adding this touch of color in the key spots in my home, has created a charming effect.
In the evening when the lamp is on, the soft glow seems welcoming and warm. If you are looking for a quick change for your country, ranch, cabin or southwestern theme decor, may I suggest purchasing a beautifully painted lampshade. The quality and workmanship is impeccable. With these small touches, you’ll create a lasting impression. I am so happy I found these painted shades. When I walk in from work, they seem like old friends waiting to welcome me home.
