02 Aug A lamp’s shade and what is it good for?

Lamps tend to be a statement of who you are and where you’ve been shoppin’. In the great state of Florida, we’ve got lamps from all over the United States and bargain stores therein. Once you need to move, that means that your lamp shade does too. Let’s take a look at what that means and who’s are responsibles:

• Mosaic Glass: The best lamps in the world are the ones that you beat your kids for if they break. This keeps foot traffic to a slow march in your home. Moving boxes are great to ball up into a cardboard ball to make things work when handling mosaics. Always draw an arrow on the upside with the word “glass fragile”, “no fraggle”, or “live frugally; if ya’ don’t, you will”.

• Cloth: Do not touch your cloth lampshade with your hands. Just grab you a garbage bag, use your hand inside the bag to unscrew, and take off the lampshade inside the bag with the screw in the bag. Fingerprints on your lampshade ain’t goin’ to be on you that’s for sure… not up in here… not UP.. IN.. HERE.

• Plastic: There is only one way to store see-through plastic lamps, and that’s with the proper box. Thin tinted plastics make cool things happen in a room’s color. You’ll need a bin or other stronger boxy things to make that bad boy make it to your next commod-dale event.

• Antiques: Certain lamps are going in your vehicle. We’ll pack up all your tall lamps for you upon arrival using blankets. We also use plastic bags on each glass bulb areas, like fans and stuff, where there are no shades but glass (in case it falls off it’s caught in the bag Darnell). In the event that your lamp is worth more than the move that you are paying for, we’ll pack it and put it in your vehicle.

Shade or no shade, if your lamps can’t be trusted in a move by thems-selfs, then call a packer or get some notes from our bloggers. You’ll need to be firm but understanding when holding a bunch of different materials accountable. Shades get older too, so if you want them hanging around, choose not to lose ’em.
