I was at a new showroom this week shopping for a client and I was intrigued by their lighting selections.  I have always liked the drum shade pendant that became popular a few years ago but these new examples combine the more formal crystal chandelier with the more casual drum shade for an interesting twist.

Classic drum shade fixture – love the chocolate brown ribbon trim.

Both of these are great examples of the melding of formal crystal and casual drum shade.

Very classy, but a fresh take.

Love this lamp with its coppery tones and that very cool shade.  

Check out the blue silk interior in the picture above.

The blue glass base of this lamp is even prettier in person.  It just glows.

Love this coral designed silver lamp, lots of shine and a wonderful twist on a traditional theme.
