Etsy Pick: Naturally Heartfelt Paper Lampshades

I love a good statement lampshade, but even the high street ones can be pretty pricey.

Imagine my delight when I discovered Naturally Heartfelt on Etsy: they've created some utterly stunning handmade paper lampshades out of old maps and music sheets.

Each of the circles are handcut, but they're attached to a sturdy wire frame so you don't have to worry about it falling apart.

My favourite from their selection is the Geographer's Choice lampshade - it's made out of a vintage map from 1921. I'm pretty sure if I hung this in my bedroom I'd dream of adventures every night. 

 

I absolutely love this Love and Light music lampshade. Each circle is cut carefully to highlight the nicest parts of the lyrics. You can also get music shades for classic pop songs and 70s tunes, depending on your taste in music...

They're not just pretty in the daytime - when lit, they are absolutely gorgeous.

They're £42.50 with £7.50 shipping, which isn't bad considering the shop pack it super-carefully for you so it arrives in one piece.
