Rustic lamps with rawhide lamp shades are often found in log homes and in western interior design to enhance rustic furnishings and add true country design to any room. When visiting the southwestern states, you will no doubt come across the warm glow of rawhide lamp shades used as part of the interior design of many public places. Their rustic charm makes them a wonderful choice in western style design.

Lamp shades made of rawhide are easy to decorate with, and work well with almost any decorating style. These lamp shades are also available in multi-colors that make it possible for interior designers to match any color or theme. Add rawhide lamp shades to your interior design and you will no doubt be pleased with how well they compliment western design and rustic home furnishings.

The first thing you will need to decide when decorating with leather lamp shades is what their function and purpose will be in the room. Are they to be placed on tall floor lamps to light a large room, or on small desk lamps to illuminate a small corner? The idea is to purchase the correct shade size based on where and how you will be using it.

Rawhide also makes an excellent choice for western style antler lamps and chandeliers. From little chandelier lamp shades with built in bulb adaptors for candelabra bulbs or sconces to big table lamps or desk lamps, rawhide shades work wonderfully for southwestern style home lighting.

When illuminated, the leather shade not only adds great character to a room but also creates a warm and inviting living space. The natural hues of the leather when illuminated is what generate the inviting light. No matter where you decide to use a rustic lamp with a leather lamp shade, you will love the unique charm it creates in the room. If you are including a lamp in your interior design, choose a type and size that will be big enough to accommodate a bigger size shade and one that gives off enough light.

Rawhide Sconce lampshades also allow for good reading light and are made in just the right size for any type of lamp. Leather shades are great for decreasing the harsh glare of a light, and allow you to filter it to where you choose. Light colored rawhide, also called southwestern lamp shades, will let the maximum light shine through while dark rawhide shades, referred to as western lamp shades, are more subtle, producing a charcoal color when your lamp is on.

The greatest part about incorporating leather lamp shades in your interior design is that they are an easy way to introduce western charm and character into your home. Authentic antler lamps are a wonderful choice in home lighting fixtures because of the welcoming ambiance they generate when paired with a leather lamp shade. Heavy wrought iron lamps are also great southwestern style lamps to combine with rawhide shades. It is your rawhide shade that makes the rustic look and feel which is why professional decorators love using them.

Leather lamp shades come in a variety of sizes and colors, making it easy to buy the best size shade and color to complement your decorating style. Just as appropriate in the living room, family room or den as well as bedroom or study, rawhide shades can be placed in just one room or used to create a southwestern theme throughout your whole house.

The greatest thing about these shades is that you can buy many rawhide shades at reduced prices by shopping online. Decorating with rawhide in your home is an investment in tranquility and peace that you will welcome forever. If you like the rustic decorating style of the old west, or want to build your own year round Arizona room, you will love enhancing southwest decor with rawhide lamp shades.

Medical Assistance Requested
By: Bobbie | 26-08-2008
My son is an inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution in Safford, AZ.  Four years ago he was diagnosed with a herniated disk in his lower back.  Since then he was transferred to LaTuna in El Paso and there he was to have surgery to correct the herniation.  He is now back in Safford where he has had an MRI which backs up the original diagnosis.  He now awaits a neurological consult prior to surgery.  The medical administrator, Ms. Garrett, told me that although the surgery has been ok'd my son must wait until 2009 for the consult and procedure.  This is outrageous!  My family, and our attorney, believe this constitutes cruel and unusual punishment!  My son is in a tremendous amount of pain.  He is worried that if this is not corrected soon, further damage may occur - he needs to be in one piece when he is released in order to work.  Can you please help?  Thank you very much.  Roberta English, Mother, Green Valley, AZ - Phone 520-398-6979.
