Fab Freebie: Your Perfect Shade

*** This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***

Time to break out your inner product designer again folks, because this week you’re designing your very own lamp shade.

Lamps Plus Design It2

Lamps Plus is the nation’s largest specialty lighting retailer (you West Coasties may know them in person, while us East Coasters can peruse their wares online) and they’ve got a great new “Design It” tool on their site so you can design your own drum shade for a whole slew of lamps and fixture styles. And this week one of you can win a Brushed Steel Contemporary Table Lamp with a shade in the pattern, color and trim of your choice.

Here are just a few of the designs that we played around with (so many patterns, so few empty side tables):

Lamps Plus Our Designs

If you’ve already created a design that you love and can’t bear to wait ’til Thursday’s winner announcement, Lamps Plus is giving YHL readers a special discount (click for more details). Oh and you can take a screenshot of your design and submit it on Lamps Plus’ Facebook page to remember- and share- your masterpiece with others. Who knew lamps could be so interactive? Now for this week’s entry deets:

  • PRIZE: A Brushed Steel Contemporary Table Lamp with your very own custom shade thanks to the Lamps Plus’ Design It tool
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MY SHADE IS” and…
  • BONUS QUESTION: …tell us your favorite color (we’re going back to basics this week). But since we’ve all grown up a bit past simple “green” or “red,” we’d love a bit more of a description (glowing amber? muted gray-blue? ruby red? celery green?).
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 26th at 8pm EST
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: ONE
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The 50 nifty United States
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

    My shade is…still to be determined. We’re moving in a few weeks and there will hopefully be a new color scheme to work with.

    My shade is…soft buttery yellow. The color Sherwin-Williams calls “Parchment” (or used to — this color is discontinued, but they’ll still mix it for you if you ask). Anyway, my shade is the color of the walls of my new guest room (which is — you guessed it — Sherwin-Williams Parchment).

    coral! I LOVE this color, especially when it is a little more on the orange side than on the pink side. However, it is too pastel-y for me to find a way to work it into my decorating without looking cheesy or little girl-ish. I’m still working on it. :)

    My shade is…smoky, slightly purple, gray. Best mixed with crisp white and a pop of fuschia.
