I have always loved this lamp. I'm pretty sure RTLK has it in their Seattle office. I tried to use it once on a project. The price made it a no go.

For the curtains do white brown, or white charcoal, or solid of either . Those go with all colors and will feel crisp and classy. Don't go crazy trying to figure out it's opposing color. It will probably get crazy busy. I am in the process of making some curtains from this shower curtain from Target.

The pattern is super busy, but that's what I wanted (my white walls the rain are making me sad.) I tacked on another yard of a solid kelly green fabric at the bottom. It's turning out really nice. All for $30ish dollars.
Cut it in half, hem the raw sides (I cut the rings off the top and hemmed) and then buy those ring clips you can get at IKEA. WAY cheaper than normal curtains. If you don't have a sewing machine you could use hem tape.

You should do this one, it would be so fun:

Good Luck

I say paint them! I vote for a shade of gray. Don't match your poster, that will look too matchy matchy. See an example here: http://www.wisteria.com/Triangle-Tea-Table/productinfo/W2916/
OR
If you don't have a man in the house (or your man doesn't mind a femenine interior) I would go for the Modern Baroque thing and paint them high gloss white or black, see here: http://media.photobucket.com/image/Baroque%20Modern%20Furniture/blueorchiddesigns/blackandwhitebaroqueweddingstyle.jpg ...
AND, if you're feeling extra crafty you could declopague the tops with a damask wrapping paper kind of like this girl
(http://homemadebyjill.blogspot.com/2008/09/dresser-makeover.html) did.
Ok, I'm done now:)

I've used Alger lighting for some commercial projects. I know they'll do one (ie. you don't have to have a quantity) They are kind of expensive, but really great to work with.
