This dark little spot is right outside the pantry/kitchen nook. It is narrow, dark, and oddly shaped space. I was looking to add more light and certainly more style.
I found this shade I loved at Tar-jay. We used the existing hardware, with a few extension for length. It is a soft gray pleated fabric. I thought it was a nice neutral, since I have a lot of colors going on there. And the texture is great too.
Notice how you can see the gold hardware underneath? That is making me crazy! Yes, I could paint it but what really makes me nuts is that it hangs low enough to be visible. Ideas?
Yes, the wrapper is stil on...just till I'm 100% sure.
What do you think?

I've never thought about putting a lamp shade on the ceiling...but it totally works (it's probably something that's all over the internet and I'm just behind on the style?)
Anyway, I'm a fan, but would also be annoyed by the fixture hanging below. And I have no good ideas for fixing it ;)
Does it hang below the shade or is it just visible? Could you get like a diffuser panel to put on the bottom so you dont see the fixture at all?
I was wondering about a diffuser panel, too. I think someone may have done a DIY one with something cheap. Aren't I helpful?
I think you are so smart to make this simple fix. I think it looks good.
Judging our lighting, eh? What if I like those fixtures (the same heinous ones that are at my house)??? :)
That looks 100000% better. I couldn't see any gold.

Okay, I lied. I can see the gold. That would drive me crazy (and will the next time I'm up)- I say paint it for now.
