TuTu Lampshade

Found this tutu/tulle light cover on decor8:



And I think it could be really cute in a little girls room, but am I the only one that thinks it looks like a giant fire hazard?

You're not the only one :). My first thought was, how cute...and unsafe! It is a cute idea though. Maybe over some type of shade it could work.

Umm yeah that's cute but seems like a bad idea. Maybe a more tailored version would work.

HA, that was indeed my first thought! Cute, but Yikes, dangerous! Sue

You are definitely not the only one. I have to show this to my husband. One time we were at a movie and they had a romantic scene where they scanned across the room and some clothing was on a lamp and before I knew it I said, "That can't be safe!" My husband burst out laughing!

You could use a small glass pendant shade around the bulb first, then drape it with the tutu... My opinon is that the tulle is too long and looks like a halloween ghost decoration. I would like to see shorter, stacked layers of tulle that actually look more like a mini tutu. :)

Thinking you could use one of those high energy-low wattage bulbs that does not get hot. However it poses a new hazard. If you break it, it's full of mercury.

Still the idea is tutu cute!

The light is cute, maybe in a bright fun color though. (agree, too ghosty)

I don't think I could relax laying on that bed with all those shelves full of boxes above me...

Too bad it looks like it would become a huge fire hazard...because my girl would DIE for this in pink!!

that's what I was thinking too...unless you never actually used it as a light, you know JUst for looks?
