Work in Progress - Lampshades to be Restored

Hannah Murphy Lamps & Lampshades 

360-864-2945

Call for estimate on complete lampshade restoration and replacement.    Even if you don't have the old frame, I have over 3,000 lampshade frames in stock in almost any size or style you might need.  Most lampshades never go out of style -- they just wear out from years of service.  Heat from too hot a light bulb tends to dry out the lining and it becomes crumbly and disintegrates.  We can replace worn-out linings with new fabric that will last a long time!  To make your lampshades last longer, be sure there is at least 3 inch clearance between the fabric and the light bulb.

Reasonable prices - Finest materials - Prompt turnaround - Satisfaction Guaranteed!

50% Deposit Required Before Work is Begun

We  accept credit card payments directly.  Any other credit card payment can be made through PayPal at https://www.paypal.com.  Call us first to determine shipping charges.

WARNING !

 DON'T TRUST UPS, FED-EX,  OR THE POST OFFICE TO TREAT YOUR PACKAGE WITH CARE!

THEY WILL OFTEN LOAD A 70-POUND BOX ON TOP OF A 2-POUND LAMPSHADE!

IF THE FRAME GETS BENT, IT WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!  SOME ITEMS CANNOT BE REPLACED, and even if your shipment is insured, they can't insure against a broken heart!

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ADEQUATE CRUSH-PROOF PACKING TO PROTECT YOUR LAMPSHADE

 Almost all shipping boxes today are made of recycled cardboard - very weak.  Styrofoam pieces from computer and electronics component boxes are excellent packing materials, as well as foam peanuts and bubble wrap.  To be insurable, make sure there is a 2-inch filled space between the shade and the inside of the box.  Extra reinforcement of the box walls is a must!

DON'T DEPEND ON NOTES LIKE "DO NOT CRUSH" OR "TOP LOAD ONLY"

PACKAGES ARE NOT HANDLED BY HUMAN BEINGS MOST OF THE TIME, AND MACHINES DON'T READ!

HERE'S WHAT ARRIVES AT OUR SHOP ALMOST EVERY WEEK!
