REPAIRED DESKTOP LAMPSHADE, BEIGE LINEN STYRENE RESTORE

Accent Lampshade Lighting, NE Ohio
This is the second small accent light I have done for this customer. The ivory oval shade was replaced with sage silk fabric. To make such a big change in fabric color is risky, but the first one came out so sweet, we had to do the second shade. […]
