the trick to finding the right size lampshade for your lamp is to measure the base of the lamp, times it by the height and the divide it by the width. this answer will be the diameter of your lampshade.
it should be translucent
Unscrew the doohickey on the top of the lampshade. like the one that is holding the lampshade to the light bulb. then take the lampshade off the lamp... its that simple
This would be a finial.
Unfortunately not all lampshades fit every lamp. However there are many lampshade sizing guides online where you can easily find the size you are looking for.
If you are talking about the support that holds the lampshade to the lamp base it is called a "lamp harp".
Two such words are headlamp and lamplight. Additional words are lamppost and lampshade.
There is usually a very valid reason for looking for a replacement lamp for your home. You may have broken the lamp you had when you were cleaning your home, or maybe your housekeeper accidentally broke it. If you have recently changed decorating schemes within your home, the old lamp may no longer coordinate appropriately with the decor that you picked out. It can actually be fun to look for a new replacement lamp. If you broke your old lamp, you can look for a replacement lamp that either looks the very same as your old lamp, or one that looks quite similar to it. If a certain company made the broken lamp, you may be able to locate an exact replacement match quicker than if there is no brand name on the lamp. If you absolutely cannot locate an exact look-a-like lamp, then you can purchase one that has the same styling and height of the old lamp. You may even be able to keep your old lampshade to use on your replacement lamp (if the lampshade is still usable.) If the replacement lamp is simply being purchased because you are redecorating your home, then you have many options as to what kind of lamp to purchase. If you are going for the shabby chic or classic look, you may consider going with a lamp that is very simple. The lamp may, however, have some frilly decorating around the edges of the lampshade. The lampshade may have pretty beading or crystals hanging off the edges of it. If you are looking more for the country style of a replacement lamp, you may want to buy a lamp that is more rugged or outdoorsy-looking. Again, look at the lampshade of the lamp. The lamp should be basic if you are going for a country style, but the lampshade could have plaid striping on it, or even country-type themes. If you are really creative and love to decorate, you may also want to look for interchangeable lampshades to go along with your new replacement lamp. If you find some awesome lampshades, you can change the look of your lamp really easily.
You would have to be sure that the lampshade is made of natural fibers and does not have a coating that would prevent a dye from being absorbed. Wear gloves and use a sponge to apply the fabric dye. Make sure to let it dry completely.
a lamp is spelled "une lampe" in French. a lampshade = un abat-jour a street lamp = l'éclairage public
It's called a finial.
Place a container of baking soda under a lampshade, and position the lampshade so that the end with a smaller diameter is facing up. The baking soda should be immediately below the opening of the lampshade. Pour vinegar into the baking soda, and let it foam over to create a volcano.
