Lampshade frames

I know we all covet beautiful lampshades with stunning fabrics, designs, detailing and accessories but don't empty fabric-less lampshades look great too? {Image 1}

I love this look and it's one (amongst others which I'll show you soon) that I've chanelled in my own home. What do you think?

I bought this shade complete with shabby chic rose fabric for a couple of dollars at a flea market a year ago but it had quite a yellow tinge and wasn't so much chic as, dare I say, granny-ish! I loved the shape but didn't know what to do with it except remove the fabric and paint the frame black.

Now it's a real statement piece on my shelves. A modern look using a classic frame. Perhaps when I have my own place and hanging lights, rather than flat up against the ceiling lights, I will hang it as part of a homemade chandelier. Now if only I could get my hands on some more!
