Gerald Thurston lamp shade ...  

Nice...
I had a similar problem, it took me over a year to find just the right one or at least one that looked right. If you're in the U.S., check out lampsplus.com. I saw some that may work, it's tough finding a short drum shade without paying top dollar. Hope this helps.

custom
Going the custom route. I have no patience anymore, and if I didn't find a shade within a month, the lamp probably would have migrated to the storage black hole. Nasty place with little chance for escape. LOL.
I ordered through Fenshelshades.com on Sunday. The shade will ship tmrw.! I'll post up pics when it arrives. Was waaaaaay cheaper than anywhere else. If they live up to their name with this custom shade; I'll be a repeat client for sure.

Great!
I'll have to check them out, cannot wait to see how it looks. Please post pictures.

Will do
Certainly will! I'll check out your place too.
I was a bit surprised at the price I found Fenshel could do a custom shade for. I called them directly Monday to make sure my directios were clear enough, and to get a personal feel for them. They were super friendly and actually saved me $5 on their fast-pass program. Told me to save my money unless one day production time was a big deal. Lol.
Can't wait to see the shade!

Have a similar lamp in need...
Have a similar lamp in need of a shade. How much are they charging you for one if you don't mind me asking.

R U Ready ....
Are you sitting down? LOL!

here she is ...
The lamp shade came in Saturday. Looks like I found a winner! I think I could have gone with a bit more rustic textured linen, but I'm loving it as is.
Tell me what you guys think!

looks great
So as i mentioned, I havea very similar lamps...table and floor versions that are in need of the same shades. Was that made locally or did you send away for it? Thinking maybe I can get it done at the same place as the price was right.

i should have read
through your post before asking a question you already answered... will check out the website.

GL ,,,,
Good luck J. They were very nice to talk to on the phone and sounded like they would work up just about anything if they can.
I'll be ordering another shade from them in a few days for my newest GT lamp find. They can't make a diffuser, but I'm already working on that. 🙂
Let us know how yours turn out!

Wowsa!
Nice work, looks great, I think I will have to give them a try. Thanks for posting.

diffuser
Hopper.
Let me know what you come up with on the diffuser hunt. Also in need and have had no luck finding them on the net.
