How can I transform my 1950's lamps into something more modern?

The lamps have gold trim on the shades, and lamp.
Replace the shade with a more modern one. I just replaced the shade on an old floor lamp for less than $20 and it looks like an entirely different lamp.
Oh wow! I love them! I would just update the shade, either DIY or purchased, to go with your current decor.
I actually was thinking of possibly redoing the shades. Lots of ideas online
Hmmm, I agree with the others. Changing the lamp shade would change the whole look of this lamp! The delicate curves and color is overshadowed by the size and shape of the current shade. Here is a site with tips on how to pick the right lampshade including the right height and width. http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-choose-the-right-size-lamp-shade-apartment-therapy-tutorials-107600 ;
Hello Debbie, I have lamp very similar except it's brass, I decoupaged the lamp shade for my library and it looks great. If I knew how to post pictures I would send a picture. Loretta
