Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving! Still trying to detox from the 3 huge Thanksgiving celebrations we had. It was a wonderful time with family & friends.

After:

I paired it with a darker, burlap-colored shade.

If you would like to enjoy this lamp in your own home visit the “shop” section & learn how!
